PINEAPPLE-CORN SALSA

Any kind of Salsa suits the tropical climate. It leaves such a cooling effect on our body and mind. Salsa is the Spanish term for sauce. They are often tomato based, can be fruit based otherwise. Typically piquant, they range from mild to extremely hot. Used mainly as a dip, they can be extremely soothing on a hot summer day. [wiki] Have it with your favourite chips, you are sure to love it. I prefer a Fruit Salsa over a Vegetables Salad any day. Just the other day I saw some fresh pineapples in the supermarket. We get very good pineapples here, a couple of varieties are imported from Malaysia. The variety I usually get is the Sweet16 Pineapple. I do not know what attracts me towards them.... their freshness or the name. Jokes apart, I like the variety for it's sweetness. I made a big bowl of PINEAPPLE-CORN SALSA for our visiting friends yesterday. There had meaty appetisers too. It is easy to prepare a bowl of salsa with your choice of base, it has to be served chilled. If Salsa is easy and quick to make, why should one go for store bought ones. Let us do it.
