Ingredients

  • 1 fresh pineapple cut into tidbits (small bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 Roma Tomatoes cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 small red onion diced
  • 1 jalapeno diced small, remove the seeds and veins
  • ½ red bell pepper diced
  • 2 cloces garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 lime juiced
  • ¼ cup cilantro roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Begin by cutting the pineapple in half through the center and cutting the pineapple into 4 pieces lengthwise.
  • Then, cut the thick, tough core from the center of each wedge.
  • Cut the pineapple into desired-size pieces.
  • You will want to dice the pineapple for this salsa so the pieces are tiny.
  • Now, cut all the other vegetables into pieces of similar size.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Cover and refrigerate for a few hours before serving so the flavors meld together.
  • Serve with chips or veggies for dipping. I like baby bell peppers cut lengthwise and made into baby bell pepper scoop veggie chips.

Notes

  • Cut the pineapple into tiny pieces similar to the other ingredients to make it uniform and easy to eat as a dip or a topping for your favorite meal.
  • Wear gloves with cutting jalapeños and remove the seeds and veins for a less spicy salsa.
  • If you are sensitive to spice, leave the jalapeños out, or substitute with serrano peppers.
  • Use Roma tomatoes because they contain fewer seeds, which results in a less watery salsa.
  • Don't want to eat tortilla chips? Cut baby bell peppers in half lengthwise and use them as vegetable scoop chips.
