Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) Fresh pineapple
- 1 medium (diced) Red bell pepper
- 1 medium (finely chopped) Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cups (finely diced) Red onion
- 0.25 cups (chopped) Cilantro leaves
- 1 medium (juiced) Lime
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and dicing it into small cubes until you have 2 cups.
Dice the red bell pepper into small, uniform pieces.
Finely chop the jalapeño pepper, ensuring you remove the seeds for less heat or leave them in if you prefer spicier salsa. Be careful when handling jalapeños and wash your hands thoroughly afterward.
Finely dice 1/2 cup of red onion.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves until you have 1/4 cup. Avoid chopping the stems for better flavor.
Juice one medium lime into a small bowl to extract as much juice as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro.
Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and add 1 tablespoon of honey. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, then gently toss all the ingredients together until evenly mixed.
Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Serve the sweet and spicy pineapple salsa immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Enjoy as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or tacos.
