I was at the grocery store the other day and picked up fresh cherries! Yeay! Even though it cost me an arm and a leg but so worth it.

I’m loving this time of the year as my weekly grocery trips are an adventure! I always bring back something new and exciting that was not on my list . Grocery budget….what is that?

Pineapple Bruschetta

I love grocery shopping. Seriously. I can spend hours at a grocery store. We have an amazing Whole Foods near us and I like to think of it as my Nordstrom of the grocery stores. Except for designer shoes and bags, it’s organic juicy heirloom tomatoes and mouth watering peaches.

Pineapple Bruschetta

Well, pineapple was not on my grocery list last week but it was just so golden, ripe, and fragrant. I couldn’t resist ( I do that a lot, pick up more things than I need). I’m not a big pineapple person unless it’s a top of a drink. But I knew I wanted to do something fun with it.

Pineapple Bruschetta

Last week, our dear friends had us over for dinner and homemade bruschetta was on the menu. I forgot how delicious bruschetta tastes and how simple it is to make. So I wanted to give a traditional tomato based bruschetta a little make over with more of a lighter, sweeter, and summery version using pineapple.

Pineapple Bruschetta

Sweet, spicy, fresh, and light are just a few of the flavors of this vibrant dish. Serves absolutely beautiful a top of crispy, golden toasts. My kind of good.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 cups diced pineapple (1/4 inch)
  • 1 1/2 cups diced red onion (1 medium)
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper (1 small)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup minced jalapeno, seeds removed
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt, plus more
  • 1 French baguette, sliced diagonally into 1/4 inch-thick slices (approx 30 slices)
  • 8 oz. fresh mozzarella, diced
  • fresh black pepper for taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine together pineapple, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, and jalapeno.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Drizzle over the pineapple mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. I made the pineapple the day before and refrigerated overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400F. Arrange baguette slices on a large baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  4. To serve, add the fresh mozzarella to the pineapple mixture; mix well. Top each bread slice with the mixture and sprinkle with sea salt and fresh ground pepper.

    Very refreshing. I was about to make regular bruschetta, saw a pineapple on my kitchen counter and thought, “pineapple bruschetta? Does such a thing even exist?”. I then googled it, and of course it does. And it didn’t disappoint at all–got tons of compliments on this. I may even add a little mango and habanero next time around.
