Notes
- Use fresh pineapple sliced carefully to maintain texture; avoid canned or frozen.
- Core Roma tomatoes to reduce excess moisture and keep salsa scoopable.
- Red onion adds color and bite; sweet or white onions can be substituted if desired.
- Adjust jalapeños quantity or substitute serrano peppers for more heat.
- Store leftover salsa refrigerated for up to 4 days.
- Making the salsa a day ahead improves flavor blending.
