Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh coriander (cilantro)
- 1 large lime
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
1. Start by preparing the pineapple. Remove the skin, core, and eyes if using fresh pineapple. Then dice the pineapple into small, evenly sized cubes and add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
2. Finely chop half of a medium red onion and add it to the bowl with the pineapple.
3. Cut the jalapeño pepper in half and remove the seeds and white membrane for a milder salsa. Dice the jalapeño finely and add to the bowl. If you prefer more heat, leave some seeds intact.
4. Roughly chop the fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves and measure 1/2 cup. Add this to the bowl with the other ingredients.
5. Zest the lime and add the zest to the bowl. Then juice the lime and pour the juice over the salsa mixture.
6. Season the salsa with the sea salt and black pepper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the mixture.
7. Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
8. Allow the salsa to rest for about 5-10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
9. Serve immediately as a topping for tacos, alongside grilled meats or fish, or with a bowl of tortilla chips. Enjoy!
