Instructions
- Peel and dice the pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces until you have 3 cups fresh pineapple, diced (about half a large pineapple). If the pineapple is very ripe and you are dicing it small, the core can be left in; otherwise remove the core.
- Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces similar in size to the pineapple (use 1 red bell pepper, diced).
- Dice enough red onion to equal ½ cup red onion, diced.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from 1 jalapeño, then finely chop the jalapeño.
- Chop the cilantro listed in the ingredients.
- In a large bowl combine the 3 cups pineapple, the diced red bell pepper, the ½ cup red onion, the chopped jalapeño, and the chopped cilantro.
- Add 2 tablespoons lime juice and ¼ teaspoon salt to the bowl.
- Toss everything very well to combine, taste, and adjust seasonings to your preference (for example, add a little more salt or lime juice if desired).
Notes
Serve in a hollowed out pineapple for a fun-looking appetizer!
Try to dice the pineapple and vegetables pretty finely (but not too small). Naturally the pineapple pieces will be a little bigger compared to the bell pepper and onion, but that’s totally fine. You just need a small dice to be able to enjoy the salsa with tortilla chips.
If you don’t have time to dice a pineapple, buy pre-sliced fresh pineapple and that will save you a lot of time.
To make this salsa even more fun, try adding diced fresh mango, peach, or sweet corn!
There is no right or wrong when it comes to what ingredients to add to this salsa, want to add a tomato? Go for it! A cucumber? Sure why not! Have fun with it!
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
