Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 1-inch thick, 8-10 ounces) Ham slice
- 1 cup (diced) Pineapple
- 1 small (diced) Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Lightly brush the ham slice with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking and enhance the grill marks.
Place the ham slice on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until heated through and lightly caramelized. Remove from the grill and set aside to rest.
While the ham cooks, prepare the pineapple salsa by combining the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lime juice for tartness or honey for additional sweetness, depending on your preference.
Transfer the grilled ham slice to a serving plate and top generously with the freshly prepared pineapple salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy this sweet and savory combination!
