Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 whole pineapple (to use as the bowl)
- 1 cup diced pineapple
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (any combination of red, orange, yellow, or green peppers)
- 1 cup diced Roma tomatoes
- ⅓ cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup minced red onion
- 4 tbsp lime juice (about 2 limes or use bottled lime juice)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp diced jalapenos (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple Bowl: Cut about one-third off the top of the pineapple, keeping the stem attached to the larger piece. Score the fruit by making a cut around the outer edge and crosswise cuts in the center. Use a metal spoon to carefully loosen and scoop out the pineapple chunks. Drain any extra juice from the pineapple bowl to make it empty and ready for serving.
- Dice Pineapple for Salsa: From the scooped-out pineapple chunks, dice enough to make one cup of diced pineapple. Reserve any extra pineapple for another use or snack.
- Mix the Salsa Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, diced Roma tomatoes, diced bell peppers, minced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and optional diced jalapenos. Stir well to blend all the flavors evenly.
- Assemble the Salsa in the Pineapple Bowl: Transfer the prepared salsa mixture into the hollowed-out pineapple bowl for an attractive presentation.
- Chill Before Serving: Place the pineapple salsa in the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve for a fresh, cool taste.
Notes
- For a spicier salsa, add more jalapenos or chili peppers according to your heat preference.
- Use fresh lime juice for best flavor, but bottled lime juice works in a pinch.
- The hollowed pineapple bowl makes for an impressive presentation perfect for parties or gatherings.
- Store leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to keep it fresh.
- Feel free to substitute cilantro with fresh mint or parsley for a different herbal twist.
