Comments: I served this over angel hair pasta. It probably would have been better as a summer dish, but I just couldn't wait to try it! It was a wonderful blend of different flavors. I will definately make this again!

Comments: This recipe was very easy and very tasty! I used fresh pineapple instead of canned and the salsa came out wonderful! You can vary the hotness by adding more or less jalapeno (wear gloves when you work with peppers!). My ten-year-old even asked for more!
