This pineapple salsa is a favorite in my kitchen because it balances sweet fruit with a little bit of heat. It is incredibly simple to toss together and always adds a refreshing pop of color to the dinner table.

I love serving this alongside grilled fish or tacos, but it is just as good with a simple bowl of tortilla chips. For the best flavor, try to use a really ripe pineapple that smells sweet and fragrant.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, finely diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and minced jalapeño in a medium mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and add a small pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Toss everything together gently until well combined.

  4. 4

    Let the salsa sit for about ten minutes before serving so the flavors have a chance to meld together.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. If you prefer a milder salsa, be sure to remove all the seeds and white membranes from the jalapeño before chopping.
