Chef Erica, lover of spicy, tangy and sweet combinations, takes a break from cooking meat to grill up some sweet, juicy pineapple over charcoal to make her luscious salsa! Diced and tossed with red onions, citrus, spices, lime and tequila, it’s a salsa that tastes like a Margarita! Not a tequila fan? Use your favorite rum instead to keep the cocktail theme going.
