Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups diced pineapple
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 3-4 habanero peppers seeded and diced
  • 1-2 tbsp lime juice
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Cut the pineapple in half and remove the rind and core. Dice the pineapple into small pieces. You will need approximately 1/2 of a large pineapple for 2.5 cups.
  • Dice the red onion and bell pepper, and roughly chop the cilantro. Add to a bowl along with the pineapple
  • Carefully remove the stem and seeds from the habanero peppers and dice them very small. Add to the bowl with the other ingredients.
  • Add 1-2 tablespoons of lime juice to the bowl and stir to combine the ingredients. Add salt to taste, if desired.

Notes

  • You don’t need to be precise with the ingredients.  You can use as much or as little of each as you like. 
  • This recipe will make approximately 6 (1/2 cup) servings
  • Use caution when handling fresh peppers. Gloves are recommended while chopping peppers; be careful not to touch your face.
  • If you prefer pureed salsa, you can simply place the diced ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse until it reaches your desired consistency.
