Ham Steaks with Fresh Pineapple Salsa
Serves 6

The classic combination of pork and pineapple takes a Latin twist with these ham steaks seared on a cast iron griddle and garnished with fresh pineapple salsa. Serve with a side of rice and beans. Look for packaged ham steaks in the meat department or ask for them at the deli counter. Pork chops also pair well with this salsa.
