Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced Fresh pineapple
- 1 cup diced Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup diced Red onion
- 1 medium, seeded and minced Jalapeño
- 0.25 cup chopped Cilantro
- 1 large, juiced Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Start by preparing the fresh pineapple. Peel and core the pineapple, then dice it into small cubes, measuring out 2 cups. Place the diced pineapple into a large mixing bowl.
Next, dice 1 cup of red bell pepper and add it to the mixing bowl with the pineapple.
Finely chop half a cup of red onion and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
Take one medium jalapeño, remove the seeds if you prefer less heat, and mince it finely. Add the minced jalapeño to the bowl.
Chop 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl, mixing with the other ingredients.
Juice one large lime over the mixture, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated with the lime juice.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt over the salsa and gently mix all ingredients until well-combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Allow the salsa to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve fresh as a topping or a standalone dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
