Pineapple Salsa
My vibrant pineapple salsa is a brighter, juicier version of pico de gallo ~ we serve it with chicken, steak, pork, and fish. But it's also the best excuse I know of to buy a big old bag of chips!

Ingredients
- 4 cups finely diced pineapple
- 1 jalapeño, finely minced
- 1 bunch cilantro, leaves and top stems only, minced
- 2 thin slices red onion, minced. Use more to taste.
- juice of 1/2 lime, more to taste
Instructions
- Finely dice about 4 cups of fresh pineapple.
- Put the diced pineapple in a large bowl.
- Finely mince the jalapeños and add them to the bowl. If you'd like less heat you can use half a pepper, or remove the pith and seeds first. I like to use the whole pepper, seeds and all. Note: Jalapeños vary in their heat, so add to taste.
- Add chopped cilantrol to the bowl. I lop off the top of a bunch of cilantro and chop the leaves and fine stems. If you wash your cilantro, be sure to get it as dry as possible before chopping.
- Add finely diced red onion. Again, add this to taste.
- Add the fresh lime juice and toss. Taste to adjust any of the ingredients. I didn't feel that it needed salt, but add if you like.
- Refrigerate until needed. Will keep 1-2 days but is best the same day.
