Ingredients

• 1 medium (about 2 cups diced) fresh pineapple
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 small red onion
• 1 large jalapeño pepper
• 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
• 1 medium lime
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the pineapple. Cut off the top and bottom, then slice off the skin, being careful to remove the eyes. Dice the pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces and add it to a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Next, dice the red bell pepper, removing the stem, seeds, and white membrane. Add the diced pepper to the bowl with the pineapple.

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion. If you prefer a milder onion taste, rinse the chopped onion under cold running water for a few seconds. Add the onion to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Carefully slice the jalapeño pepper in half, remove the seeds and membrane (or leave some for extra heat), and finely chop it. Add the jalapeño to the bowl.

Step 5

Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stir them into the mixture.

Step 6

Zest the lime and then juice it. Add both the zest and juice to the salad for extra citrus flavor.

Step 7

Season the salsa with salt and black pepper. Gently stir the mixture until all ingredients are combined and coated with lime juice.

Step 8

Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one day to allow flavors to meld further.
