About this recipe

This pineapple salsa with black beans & avocado is bright and fresh, vegan, and crunchy, sweet, and spicy. It is easy to prepare, and you will want to add it to everything.

You can use it as you would use the typical Mexican Pico de Gallo made with tomato, onion, chile serrano, and cilantro. You can eat this black bean pineapple salsa with corn chips, make tacos with corn tortillas, or in a flour tortilla vegan burrito. You could top roasted vegetables, fried or roasted tofu, or finish a greens and grains bowl.

At home, I like to serve it on weekends when meal times are a little more relaxed. I usually do it as a snack, with corn tortilla chips or chopped fresh vegetables.

why I love this pineapple salsa

Eating salsa made with fresh ingredients has tons of benefits, from the number of nutritional benefits that all the plant-based ingredients have to the delicious and bright taste.

I also love that with these types of dishes, children learn to eat different flavors and get to see how a single ingredient can be used in so many different ways.


How to cut a pineapple?

  • Start by washing the pineapple thoroughly with water.
  • Cut off the pineapple’s crown (leafy top) and the base (the hard, rough part at the bottom) using a sharp knife.
  • Stand the pineapple upright and slice off the skin from top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit, making sure to remove all the eyes (brown spots) on the skin.
  • Once you’ve removed all the skin, lay the pineapple horizontally on a cutting board.
  • Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise again into quarters so you have four long pieces.
  • Cut off the core from each quarter of the pineapple. The core is the tough center part that’s not as sweet as the rest of the fruit.
  • Cut each quarter into bite-size chunks or slices, depending on your preference. Repeat with the other half of the pineapple.
