Fresh Pineapple Salsa
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Whole Pineapple (for boat and 1 cup diced for salsa)
- 1 cup diced red bell peppers
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ⅓ cup chopped cilantro
- ½ cup minced red onion
- 2 diced jalapenos
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
Instructions
Pineapple Boat
- Cut off the top 1/3 of the pineapple to create a “boat” or bowl.
- Carefully cut around the outer edge of the pineapple fruit, leaving about an inch of flesh attached to the skin. Make a cut around the outer edge of the pineapple fruit.
- Make horizontal and vertical cuts through the center of the pineapple, creating squares.
- Using a metal spoon, gently loosen and scoop out the pineapple chunks, leaving the “boat” intact.
Salsa
- Dice the scooped-out pineapple into small pieces, measuring about 1 cup.
- In a large bowl, combine the diced pineapple, diced bell peppers, minced red onion, diced tomatoes, diced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.
- Cut one lime in half and squeeze the juice directly into the bowl.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste and mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Carefully pour the mixed salsa into the prepared pineapple boat.
- Cover the pineapple boat and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve with your favorite tortilla chips and enjoy the fresh taste of summer.
