Ingredients

Fresh Pineapple Salsa Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh pineapple, finely diced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 jalapeño, seeds and ribs removed, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt, adjust to preference

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Finely dice the fresh pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño, ensuring the jalapeño seeds and ribs are removed to control the heat level. Chop the cilantro finely as well.
  2. Mix Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Add the lime juice and salt, then toss all the ingredients together to evenly distribute the flavors.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salsa to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator to chill and allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy fresh within a few days for optimal taste and texture.

Notes

  • For a milder salsa, reduce or omit the jalapeño.
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Adjust salt according to taste and dietary needs.
  • This salsa pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, fish, or as a dip alongside tortilla chips.
  • Store in an airtight container and consume within 3-4 days for freshness.
