Ingredients

• 1 whole Pineapple

• 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 cup Cilantro leaves
• 1 whole Lime
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Peel and core the pineapple, then cut it into 1-inch rings.

Step 3

Peel the red onion and slice it into thick rings (about 1/2-inch thick) to prevent it from falling apart on the grill.

Step 4

Brush the pineapple rings, onion slices, and jalapeño with olive oil on both sides.

Step 5

Place the pineapple, onion, and jalapeño on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they develop char marks and soften slightly.

Step 6

Remove the grilled ingredients from the heat and let them cool slightly.

Step 7

Finely dice the grilled pineapple and onion. Mince the grilled jalapeño, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.

Step 8

In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, onion, and jalapeño.

Step 9

Rinse and finely chop the cilantro leaves, then add them to the bowl.

Step 10

Squeeze the juice of the lime over the salsa and add the salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 11

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed.

Step 12

Serve immediately with chips, tacos, grilled meats, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
