Ingredients
- 1 large fresh pineapple cored and diced (about 4 cups)
- 3 large jalapenos seeded and diced (for more spice, keep the seeds intact)
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 2 tomatoes diced
- ½ cup diced red onion
- ¾ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep all the ingredients before starting.
- Combine all fruits and veggies in a large bowl.
- Drizzle freshly squeezed lime juice over the mixture in the bowl.
- Season the salsa with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Thoroughly mix all the ingredients to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill before serving.
- Serve chilled as a chip dip or a topping for tacos, salads, or grilled meats.
Notes
- Jalapeno – Use green bell pepper if you don’t want the jalapeño pepper in the recipe. It will tame down the spice level of the salsa. Or ramp it up and use a habanero pepper for added heat.
- Spices—To add more flavor, you can mix spices. Cayenne pepper, cumin, or chili powder would all be great additions to the salsa.
- Serving—Serve as an appetizer; mix in black beans and quinoa to make a salad, top tacos, etc.
- Pineapple – You can use canned pineapple if you want. The tidbits would work nicely; just drain off the juice.
