IMG_1625.JPGSometimes you just need to have a quick and easy, but extremely delicious and addictive, dish to bring somewhere – like to the couch when you are binge watching Netflix in your jammies.

This dish is bright in color, smells amazing and tastes fresh and delicious. With only six ingredients this recipe really packs in the flavor! I get rave reviews on this every singe time I make it. Enjoy!

Pineapple Salsa
Ingredients:
2 c. FRESH pineapple, diced – I usually just use one whole pineapple
1/4 c. cilantro, chopped
1/4 c. red onion, finely chopped
1 serrano or jalapeno pepper, finely chopped – I usually remove the seeds and stem
Juice and zest of one lime
1/8 tsp. sea salt

Directions:
Combined all ingredients into a large bowl and toss together. Use immediately or chill until serving time. Great with chips or on fish tacos!

IMG_1289Ingredients:
5 avocados
Seeds of 1 pomegranate
2 tbsp POM pomegranate juice
1/4 c. cilantro
1 serrano pepper, diced (remove seeds and ribbing if you don’t want too much heat)
1/2 of 1 shallot, diced
Juice of 1 lime
Sea salt to taste

Directions:
Prepare avocados by removing dicing half and mashing half. Add in diced serrano pepper and shallot, and mix. Add in Pom juice and lime juice, and mix. Add in cilantro and pomegranate seeds. Add salt to taste. when covering, use plastic wrap to push down on top of guacamole so that no air pockets exist. This will keep it nice and green!

I absolutely LOVE this recipe. I actually prefer this recipe over my guacamole recipe that includes bacon!  This is such a refreshing and clean tasting recipe, and it’s under 10 ingredients!! I always joke that most recipes I make have under 10 ingredient, and a lot of times people don’t believe me. The green and red in this make it a great holiday dish, and it’s great to bring to any potluck or as an appetizer. Enjoy!
