    Fresh Pineapple Relish Recipe For a Taste of the Tropics

    Fresh Pineapple Relish is a great balance of sweet and tangy flavors with a kick from jalapenos and an underlying teriyaki flavor profile. It’s delicious on hot dogs or just about any type of grilled meat, or scooped up with tortilla chips!

    How long has it been since you had a great hot dog?

    Every so often I get a hardcore craving for a dog with “the works”, the way I used to eat it as a kid. Ketchup, mustard, relish, and white onion!

    As much as I love cheese, there is just no place for cheese on any hot dog of mine. And for me that goes double for my chili, lol. Like pizza, hot dog toppings are very much regionally influenced.

    Another nifty thing about hot dogs is that like toast, they’ve gone all fancy and hip as of late. You can find them with pretty gourmet toppings and crafted flavor profiles.

    I’ll always be a fan of “the works”, but I can also get on board with these trendy dogs (like my Thai dog I shared a couple years ago!).

    The Best Fresh Pineapple Relish Recipe

    A fresh Hawaiian-style hot dog was the inspiration for this recipe. It features a tropical fruit relish or salsa, and sometimes teriyaki sauce.

    Here I went with pineapple as the base for the fruit relish. Additioinally, I wanted teriyaki flavor profile. This is why I used coconut aminos (tamari sauce or soy sauce are also fine), honey, vinegar, garlic, and ginger for the dressing.

    Ingredients

    • Coconut aminos, tamari sauce, or soy sauce
    • Honey
    • Apple cider vinegar
    • Avocado oil
    • Sea salt
    • Ground black pepper
    • Garlic
    • Ginger
    • Pineapple
    • Red bell pepper
    • Jalapeno
    • Red onion
    • Scallion
    • Cilantro

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Whisk together the coconut aminos, honey, vinegar, oil, salt, black pepper, garlic, and ginger in a large bowl.

    Add the pineapple, red bell pepper, jalapeno, red onion, and scallion and stir to combine.

    Top with the cilantro.

    Storage

    Store this relish in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    Pineapple Relish FAQs

    What Does Pineapple Relish Go With?

    This relish is delicious on nearly any protein you can throw on the grill…chicken, steak, fish, hot dogs, sausage, etc.

    If you chop the fruit and veggies small, it’s also delicious for eating with tortilla chips.

    Or chop the produce a little larger and serve it as-is as a side salad.

    Can I Grill the Pineapple for This Relish?

    Yes! To do so, cut a few 1-inch slices of pineapple. Lightly brush them with oil and grill them over medium-high to high until they have char marks on both sides, about 3 to 6 minutes per side, flipping once.

    Once grilled, let the pineapple slices cool and then chop them up to make this relish.

    What Other Types of Fruit Can I Use Here?

    Instead of pineapple, you can substitute mango, strawberries, or payaya.
