Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (peeled, cored, and cut into rings) Pineapple, fresh
- 2 whole (peeled, pitted, and diced) Avocado, ripe
- 0.5 cup (finely diced) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro, fresh
- 1 whole (seeded and minced) Jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Lightly brush the pineapple rings with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the pineapple rings for 3-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks form and the pineapple is slightly caramelized. Remove from the grill and let cool.
Once the pineapple is cool enough to handle, dice it into small bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Add the diced avocado, red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño to the bowl with the pineapple.
Drizzle the salsa mixture with lime juice and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Gently toss the ingredients together to combine. Be careful not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos, grilled chicken, or fish. For best flavor, consume within the same day.
