We let the salsa sit in the refrigerator overnight so the flavors could meld.  Then we tasted the salsa alone and on tortilla chips.

Mitch said, "This is really good.  The grilled pineapple adds a delicious element to this flavor profile".

Chef Philip said, "The salty chips really make the salsa flavors pop".
