Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium, peeled and cored) Pineapple
- 1 whole (medium, diced) Red bell pepper
- 0.5 whole (medium, finely chopped) Red onion
- 2 whole (seeded and finely diced) Jalapenos
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 1 whole (juiced) Lime
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Cut the pineapple into thick rings, about 1/2 inch thick.
Brush the pineapple rings with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking.
Grill the pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the fruit is slightly caramelized. Remove them from the grill and allow them to cool.
Dice the grilled pineapple into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Add the diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, seeded and finely diced jalapenos, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the pineapple.
Grate the fresh ginger directly into the bowl and add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled chicken, or fish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
