Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (diced) fresh pineapple
- 1 medium (diced) ripe avocado
- 0.5 cup (diced) red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 1 small (seeded and finely chopped) jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the pineapple by removing the skin and core, then dice it into small bite-sized pieces. Measure out 1 cup and place it in a mixing bowl.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop out the flesh. Dice it into cubes and add it to the bowl with the pineapple.
Wash the red bell pepper, remove the seeds and ribs, and dice it. Measure 1/2 cup and add it to the bowl.
Finely dice 1/4 cup of red onion and add it to the mixture.
Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro leaves and finely chop the jalapeño, adjusting the amount if you want more or less heat. Add both to the bowl.
Squeeze 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice over the mixture, then season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Let the salsa sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve immediately with tortilla chips, grilled fish, tacos, or as a fresh topping for your favorite dishes.
