Begin by prepping all the produce: dice the fresh pineapple into small, even chunks; finely chop the jalapeños, removing the seeds and ribs for less heat if desired; dice the red onion; and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, chopped jalapeños, red onion, and cilantro.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture, ensuring the liquid is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper, adjusting the seasonings to taste.
Gently stir the ingredients together until well combined.
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled chicken, or fish. Enjoy!
