Pineapple Salsa Recipe
Description
Pineapple Salsa starts by hollowing out a pineapple to use as a serving bowl, with the fruit finely diced along with red and orange sweet peppers and red onion for crunch and natural sweetness. The salsa is seasoned with fresh lemon juice for acidity, chopped cilantro for herbal brightness, tajin seasoning that adds a chili-lime tang, and salt to balance the flavors. The salsa can be served fresh or stored in the refrigerator for several days.
The salsa offers a balance of juicy pineapple sweetness, crisp vegetables, and a gentle heat from the seasoning. Its fresh ingredients and visual appeal make it suitable as a topping for tacos, grilled seafood, or chicken, or served as a colorful dip with tortilla chips.
Similar small sweet peppers may be used to adjust quantity, and spiciness can be modified by exchanging sweet peppers for jalapenos or habaneros. If a pineapple corer is not available, the fruit can be sliced carefully to access the flesh.
Ingredients
- 1 pineapple
- 1/2 red onion
- 3 red sweet peppers or red chili peppers, if want spicier, mini
- 3 orange sweet peppers or habanero peppers, if want very spicy, mini
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best)
- 2-1/2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
- 1 tablespoon tajin seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Make The Pineapple Serving Bowl. Slice the top of the pineapple off. Remove the outside peel of the pineapple to get to the fruit inside by using a pineapple corer/slicer. If you don't have one, see the recipe tips below for other options.
- Dice the Ingredients. Finely dice the pineapple, sweet peppers, and red onion and place in a medium bowl.
- Add Seasoning. Add the tajin seasoning, salt, and lemon juice over the top and mix well.
- Serve. Serve immediately or store, covered, in the fridge to serve later. Enjoy!
Notes
- Serve the salsa fresh for best flavor, but it will keep up to 5 days refrigerated when covered.
- Adjust spiciness by substituting sweet peppers with jalapenos or habaneros.
- If you don't have a pineapple corer, slice off the pineapple rind carefully to access the fruit.
- Use smaller amounts of larger sweet peppers to maintain balance in the salsa.
- Pineapple salsa pairs well with homemade tortilla chips or as a topping for chicken, seafood, and tacos.
