Grilled Pineapple and Black Bean Salsa

Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is full of amazing ways to celebrate the culture of The Bahamas. While experiencing a day full of fun activities for everyone in the family and taking in the breathtaking views, you’ll probably work up an appetite.

One of the delicious treats offered at the various BBQs on the island is the Grilled Pineapple and Black Bean Salsa. And you’re in luck because the chefs from Disney Cruise Line shared the recipe with us!

This is a refreshing recipe to make on a warm day and can be served with chips as an appetizer or on top of your favorite protein. Make sure to leave extra time to let the pineapple cool before mixing the salsa. The pineapple can be grilled up to two days in advance before mixing with the other ingredients.
