There are certain things in this life that are irresistible. Chocolate, a freshly made bed with washed sheets, snuggling an adorable baby and chips with salsa! I rarely buy salsa in a jar anymore, because I know that I can just make it better at home! One of my favorites is this recipe on my site, My Name Is Snickerdoodle. Today I am sharing this amazing Pineapple Tomatillo Salsa, you are going to love it.
Two weeks ago we went to our favorite restaurant with friends for a date night. We have been going there for years as well as the other couple (just not together). They ask for a different salsa to be brought to the table and my husband and I were mesmerized by the idea that we hadn’t tried everything on the menu in all the years we’ve been going there.
This golden salsa, as our friends called it, was incredible! It was a tad spicy, but cooled off by the sweetness of the pineapple. I couldn’t resit asking the manager how they made it. I didn’t get the precise recipe, but just the list of ingredients and the cooking method. That was good enough for me!

Fun. Anxious to learn more. The Tomatillo dip will be my first tast of tomatillo and I hope I like it but it just sound delicious. I want to use it as a salad dressing.
