Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves and stir them into the mixture.
Step 5
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the pineapple mixture, being careful to avoid seeds.
Step 6
Add sea salt and black pepper to taste, and gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 7
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning or lime juice according to your preference.
Step 8
