Pineapple Salsa

This pineapple salsa is light and refreshing and goes great served along side grilled fish, gammon or chicken. 

Alternatively you can mix the prepared salsa into some cooked couscous or rice to make a more substantial side dish. Adding blanched broccoli or cauliflower, or cooked chicken or prawns, could easily turn it into a main course.
