Pork Sliders with Pineapple Salsa

Pork Sliders with Pineapple Salsa are made with a homemade pork patty with fresh pineapple salsa. A tasty, unique slider recipe for parties!

When we got to talking about slider week my wife was suggesting maybe doing something other than beef. So how about pork? With something like a pineapple topping? These are the way my ideas sound at first and then they get a little refined…It’s all about the wording…

But they turned out exactly like I had imagined them – maybe even better! Totally simple to make , they only take a few minutes on the grill and the pineapple salsa (not topping) takes about five minutes to throw together.

How Do You Make This Slider Recipe?

The pork is seasoned with cumin, garlic powder and salt and pepper, formed into slider patties and grilled for a few minutes on each side. The pineapple salsa isn’t complicated at all, just some chopped up pineapple fresh or canned mixed with parsley, red onion, lime juice and a little olive oil.

All of this can be done ahead of time and then when it’s time for dinner just grill them up and you’ve got a meal in 10 minutes flat. With school starting in just a few weeks w’ere going to need some more quick and easy meals around here. It seems like between homework, sports and driving two kids around to practices we barley have time to sit down to eat a meal. Everyone’s eating at different times, me usually the latest.

Then just place your grilled sliders on top of some fresh arugula, then top with a spoon of the pineapple salsa! Like being in the tropics without leaving your kitchen. Just add a couple Deep Blue Sea Cocktails and you’re all set!

I hope you’ll like these Pork Sliders with Pineapple Salsa as much as we did, the kids loved them too, pineapple salsa and all!
