Ingredients
- 1 pineapple
- 1/2 red onion
- 3 Mini Red Sweet Peppers (or red chili peppers, if want spicier)
- 3 Mini Orange Sweet Peppers (or habanero peppers, if want very spicy)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best)
- 2-1/2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 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 Fresh. This pineapple salsa is best served immediately but will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days if stored properly.
- Mini Sweet Peppers. Mini sweet peppers are small, but if you have bigger ones, you may need to reduce how many you add to the salsa.
- Control the Spice Level. If you want more spice, swap out a sweet pepper or two for fresh or pickled jalapenos instead. If you want really spicy salsa, add a habanero pepper or two.
- Perfect Pairing. Serve with Homemade Tortilla Chips or over the top of chicken, seafood, tacos, etc.
- No Pineapple Corer / Slicer. If you don’t have a pineapple corer/slicer, you can simply cut off slices of the rhine until the yellow flesh of the fruit appears.
- Size of Pineapple. The size of pineapples will vary. I used a medium pineapple for this recipe.
