Ingredients

  • 1 fresh pineapple diced- about 2 1/2 cups
  • 1 small red onion diced
  • ½ green pepper seeded and diced
  • 2 jalapeños seeded and diced fine
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 Tablespoons cilantro snipped
  • 2 roma tomatoes diced
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 5 cranks fresh black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut a fresh pineapple in half lengthwise. Scoop out the pineapple filling, discarding the hard and bitter center portion. Save the hollowed out pineapple to use as a serving bowl for your fresh pineapple salsa.
  2. To the fresh diced pineapple, add finely diced red onion, green pepper, jalapenos, and roma tomatoes. Be sure to chop everything small so you can scoop this salsa on a chip.
  3. Add salt, pepper, lime juice, and cilantro. Mix everything and refrigerate in a covered bowl until ready to serve. 
  4. To serve, spoon fresh salsa into the saved pineapple "bowl." Refill as needed and enjoy with tortilla chips!

Notes

  • Use a very sharp knife to cut your pineapple in half. You can then scoop out the filling and dice the pineapple, discarding that hard and bitter center portion. Use the pineapple shell as a fun serving bowl!
  • Dice the pineapple, red onion, peppers and tomatoes very small. You'll want to be able to scoop a little bit of everything on your chip for each bite!
  • Like it spicy? Leave some of the membranes and seeds with the jalapenos to add into the salsa to give it more heat.
  • Refrigerate the salsa, covered, to allow the flavors to marinate. Cover the pineapple bowl and refrigerate it as well to keep it fresh until it's time to serve.
