Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 cup (diced) fresh pineapple
- 0.5 medium (finely chopped) red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 1 small (seeded and minced) jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry all fresh ingredients thoroughly.
Dice the red and yellow bell peppers into small, evenly sized pieces and add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel, core, and dice the pineapple into small chunks, enough to fill 1 cup. Add the diced pineapple to the bowl.
Finely chop half a medium red onion and add it to the mixture.
Chop the cilantro leaves (discarding the stems) until you have 1/4 cup and add to the bowl.
Seed and mince the jalapeño pepper. If you prefer extra heat, keep some of the seeds. Add this to the mix.
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the lime juice mixture over the salsa ingredients and toss everything together gently until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed by adding more salt, lime juice, or honey to balance the flavors.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats. For best flavor, allow the salsa to sit for 10-15 minutes to let the ingredients marinate together.
