Pretty shaped crackers topped with sweet, spicy and tangy salsa make a great snack or appetizer. This colourful pineapple salsa with crackers of choice will be a big hit for any iftar party!

Unlike most salsas where the ingredients are blitzed together in a food processor, here all of the ingredients are diced. In fact, the smaller dice, the better this salsa will turn out.

Pineapple salsa is easy to make with basic fresh ingredients. What is needed is canned pineapple (fresh ripe pineapple works also), green bell pepper for some extra crunch and complementary sweetness, red onion to balance out the sweetness of the pineapple and bell pepper, tomato for more colour. No salsa is complete with fresh cilantro. Lemon juice and olive oil as dressing to bring out a burst of acidity.
All you need is some crackers and cheese spread. If you don’t have crackers, you can use pieces of bread or even cucumber or tomato as a base. There are no rules regarding canapes and you can go creative with them and make toppings of your choice.

You can also prepare toppings in advance and assemble them at the last minute
