Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Fresh pineapple
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 0.5 Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 Lime
- 1 Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Mango (for Tropical variation)
- 1 Avocado (for Tropical variation)
- 1 teaspoon Honey (for Spicy variation)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper (for Spicy variation)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Peel and core the pineapple, then slice it into 1/2-inch thick rings.
Brush the pineapple slices lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking, and place them on the grill grates.
Grill the pineapple for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and lightly charred. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
While the pineapple cools, finely dice the red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for a milder flavor), and fresh cilantro.
Once cooled, chop the grilled pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped grilled pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and add salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine for the Classic Grilled Pineapple Salsa.
For the Spicy variation, stir in 1 teaspoon honey and 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper to the classic mix.
For the Tropical variation, dice one mango and one avocado, and gently fold them into the classic salsa for a sweeter, creamier option.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, grilled chicken, fish tacos, or as a side dish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
