This is so good with white corn chips, but it's excellent over tilapia or grilled chicken breasts. Canned pineapple is not a good substitution here. Another recipe courtesy of Martha Green of Redlands, CA.

Pineapple Mandarin Salsa

1 whole fresh pineapple, or 4 c fresh, chopped or crushed
1 whole bunch cilantro, chopped
1/2 large red onion, chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper, minced
1 T minced fresh garlic
1 1/2 t sea salt
2 t Pasilla chili powder*
1 t cumin
2 T extra virgin olive oil
(2) 11-oz cans Mandarin oranges, whole segments, drained
Juice of 1 lime

Ahead of time, in a separate small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, jalapeno, salt, chili powder, cumin and lime juice. Set aside and let sit at room temperature for an hour, stirring occasionally.

Combine pineapple, red onion, and cilantro, mixing well. Add Mandarin oranges and spread evenly over the top. Drizzle olive oil mixture over the top and fold all together. Allow to chill at least 4-6 hours, or overnight, stirring occasionally.

*Can substitute regular chili powder; it will be a lesser flavor, not as strong and not as
hot
