Pineapple tomato salsa
I had taken my daughter to sports park to play basketball with her school friends. During their practice time, I got acquainted with a very nice Mexican lady, Silvia. Silvia prepares absolutely wonderful Mexican dishes. Here is one of the side dish, a very basic Mexican side dish, Oven Roasted Salsa (Frito Salsa). There will be more Mexican dishes coming on the way, once I get fully trained in preparing those :). Salsa is traditional Mexican dish. Salsa is the Spanish term for sauce. Sweet, tangy and spicy!  it is just right dish can be served as appetizer  along with tortilla chips, as a snack and as a side dish with our own breads, rotis ... There are different ways the salsa can be prepared. This pineapple tomato Salsa has a mild flavor of pineapple which gives sweetness and tangy taste to this wonderful dish.
