This dish is fantastic! The only substitution would be to replace the tomato with red bell pepper. This is great on halibut too

This was fantastic. I was looking for something refreshing to have on a hot summer day that wouldnt take a lot of time or heat in the kitchen. This was great. I used crushed pineapple as that was all I had on hand which I liked because the salsa was so good you wanted some in every bite. Thanks for sharing.
