Print Recipe Pin Recipe

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.
