Ingredients

  • 2 cups pineapple, diced
  • 6 Roma tomatoes, cored and diced
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • ½ cup red onion, chopped
  • 3-4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt (with parsley flakes)
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Add pineapple, tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, and jalapenos to a large bowl. 
  • Add lime juice and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes for all flavors to blend. Or chill until serving time. Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

Recipe Tips.
  • I prefer to use fresh pineapple, but canned pineapple can be used in a pinch.
  • Raw ripe pineapple has a high pH balance, and the acid can cause your mouth to “burn”. Using fresh lime juice helps neutralize the acidity.
  • I love storing salsa in Mason jars, but any airtight container can be used.
  • For milder heat, remove the jalapeño's membrane and seeds; for more heat, include them as desired.
Store salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
