Fresh, tropical pineapple is one of those foods that makes your mouth water. Sweet with a little tang. Paired with tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeño peppers, it really shines.
Pineapple – fresh ripe pineapple is best.
Tomatoes – we like the taste and texture of Roma tomatoes, but other firm varieties will work.
Red Onion – is our favorite, but a sweet onion is a nice alternative.
Cilantro – finely chopped. Fresh parsley can be substituted if you like.
Fresh Garlic – minced. This gives the recipe a kick of flavor.
Jalapeño Pepper – this gives the recipe its kick and is optional if you want to leave it out.
Lime Juice – freshly squeezed if you have it. However, bottled lime juice will work in a pinch.
Salt and Pepper – to taste.
This recipe is pretty darn simple to make, no special kitchen skills required! If you leave out the jalapeño pepper, it’s very family friendly.
Of course, we’re going under the assumption you have enough fresh, ripe pineapple, and no one around your house got to it first!
First, wash and then dice up your pineapple, tomatoes, cilantro, red onion and jalapeño.
Tip: For ease, use a garlic press to mince the fresh garlic.
Now, in a large mixing bowl, combine chopped pineapple, tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, garlic, and jalapeños. Drizzle with lime juice and toss to coat evenly.
Tip: When using freshly squeezed lime juice, warm the limes in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to get the most juice out of them.
See, totally simple!
If you’re looking to use the rest of your pineapple, start by cutting it lengthwise, just to the side of the top, and hollow it out to be used as a serving bowl.
Perfect for wowing guests and saving on dishwashing!
Of course, you can use pineapple salsa as a dip with tortilla chips or corn chips, but there are many other ways to use it!
Use your salsa on:
Try adding diced mangos, diced cucumbers, diced red bell pepper, black beans, diced sweet onions (instead of red onion), avocado, diced green onions, or even corn.
If you like your salsa really spicy, try habanero peppers instead of jalapeño peppers. Just dice them very small.
Tip: In a hurry? No worries! Buy pre-cut fresh pineapple from the produce department at the grocery store and dice it up yourself. It’s more expensive this way, but a lot faster.

Cutting Board – you’ll likely use this every time you cook, so get one that will last and that’s non-toxic.
