Ingredients
- 1 medium whole (about 3 cups diced) fresh pineapple
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 medium lime
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, then stand it upright. Slice off the outer skin, then carefully cut out any remaining 'eyes'. Cut the pineapple into quarters lengthwise and remove the core. Dice the flesh into small, bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.
Step 2
Wash the red bell pepper and chop it into small pieces, about the same size as the pineapple chunks. Add the chopped pepper to the bowl with the pineapple.
Step 3
Peel and finely dice the red onion, then add to the bowl.
Step 4
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise; remove the seeds and membrane for a milder salsa (or leave in for extra heat). Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the mix.
Step 5
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl with the other ingredients.
Step 6
Zest the lime, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice into the salsa mixture.
Step 7
Add the sea salt and black pepper to the bowl, then gently stir all the ingredients until they are well combined.
Step 8
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Serve chilled as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or simply with Paleo-friendly chips or vegetables. Enjoy!
