Pineapple Tomato Salsa with Trout + lunch idea




Idk why but this is where
my thoughts went
The other night I really wanted some tortilla chips but there was no salsa anywhere to be found. Anyone who is anyone knows that tortilla chips are just not eaten without salsa and cheese only can lead to digestive disasters (TMI?). Just to give everyone a look into my life, what I did find in the fridge was six bottles of ketchup. SIX BOTTLES. With varying amounts of ketchup in them. And not a single jar of salsa. Since I really needed something to occupy me while watching the cheesiest/worst of ABC Family dramas (read: Switched at Birth and The Lying Games - don't judge), I decided to make my own.  And no, I didn't use any ketchup for it but I did include some pineapple and damn it was good.

I ended up remaking this salsa two days two days in a row, which is pretty normal when I get obsessed with a food. I ended up using it as a dip, mixing it with my rice at lunch the next day, and pouring it over fish and pasta for dinner the next day. It's easy, versatile and cheap so it's a win win win all around especially if you like things hot. 

What you'll need:
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 1/2 an onion, medium
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 cup parsley (or just as much as you'd like)
  • 2 green onions
  • 1/2 lemon (or just use some lemon juice)
  • Chili paste/powder or actual chili peppers (I use an extra hot mix that my dad made out of chilis from our garden. It's actually deadly.)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • Paprika, garlic powder (optional, you just need a little)
  • Pineapple chunks (optional)
