Fresh Pineapple Salsa
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh pineapple, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- ½ cup red onion, chopped
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium jalapeño, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp. fresh lime juice, or more if needed
- ¼ tsp. fine sea salt
Instructions
- In a medium serving bowl, combine the pineapple, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
- Add the lime juice and salt; stir to combine.
- Season to taste with additional lime juice, for additional zing, and/or salt, for more overall flavor.
- For best flavor, let the salsa rest for 10 minutes or longer before serving.
- It’s best served fresh but keeps well if chilled for up to 4 days.
Notes
This salsa is well-balanced as written; however, if you are worried about the spice level, use half of the jalapeño and be sure to remove the ribs and seeds; if you want spicier salsa, add up to two peppers, or to taste.
Change the recipe by using pineapple alternatives which include diced mango, strawberries, cucumber, melon, or, of course, tomatoes; the bell pepper is optional in those variations.
