Grilled Pineapple Salsa Recipe
Report
This sweet, smoky pineapple salsa is a refreshing summer snack or condiment. It can be prepared a day in advance of serving and stored, covered, in the refrigerator. We enjoy this salsa best at room temperature. Makes 3 cups salsa.

Instructions
- Heat grill with a medium-high flame. Oil grates or line with a nontoxic, nonstick grilling mat.
- Lightly brush pineapple slices, peppers, and the cut side of the limes with olive oil. Season with a few pinches of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Grill, placing limes cut side down, until grill marks appear and pineapple and peppers have begun to soften; 3-4 minutes total for the limes, 3-4 minutes per side for the peppers, and 5-8 minutes per side for the pineapple (watch the pineapple carefully so it doesn't burn). Remove from grill and let stand until cool enough to handle.
- Cut grilled jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds (if you prefer a spicy salsa, you can leave the seeds in). Chop grilled pineapple and peppers into into bite-sized pieces. You should have about 2 cups of pineapple and 1/2 to 3/4 cup of red pepper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon grilled lime juice, honey, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add pineapple, peppers, red onion, and cilantro, tossing to combine. Season to taste with additional salt, pepper, and cumin, if desired.
- Let stand, covered, for about an hour to allow flavors to meld, stirring before serving.
Notes
- *The times listed reflect an hour-long rest for the flavors to meld. Grilled Pineapple Salsa only requires 30 minutes of hands-on cooking time!
