Tiki Time: Spam Sliders with Tropical Fruit Salsa


Hawaii and Spam.  Spam and Hawaii. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. Did you know that? There are restaurants all through the Islands serving Spam in all sorts of variations.  

I thought a Tiki Party needed to include these neat little sliders. But what to top them with? Tropical Fruit Salsa of course. Trust me this salsa rocks! Not only was it wonderful with these sliders, but was also great with the Pork Kebabs and the Hawaiian Chicken. 

For the sliders, get your grill hot and ready to go. Slice Spam into appropriate size for whatever buns/bread you're using and grill until hot through and through. Remember Spam is actually SPiced hAM. Do not be afraid of the Spam. 

Now for the salsa ingredients:
1 cup finely diced papaya
1/2 cup finely diced mango
1/3 cup finely diced white onion
3 T. chopped freshly chopped cilantro
1 T. fresh orange juice
1 T. fresh  lime juice
1 finely diced jalapeno
1/2 t. salt

Stir together all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to serve.
