Yield 2.5 cups

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups pineapple, peeled and diced into small pieces
  • ¾ cup red pepper, small dice
  • ¼ cup red onion, minced
  • 2 tablespoons mint or cilantro, minced
  • ½ -1 jalapeño pepper, minced*
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) freshly squeeze lime juice + the zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon (20g) honey
  • sea or kosher salt (I use a touch over ¼ teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Check for seasoning then cover, and refrigerate until ready to use. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

*Jalapeño peppers can vary greatly in size; for a more precise measurement, I use about 2½ tablespoons, finely minced. You can keep the seeds and veins for some heat or remove for a mild salsa. Or remove the seeds, reserving them, and add them back to taste. No jalapeño? Feel free to use a Serrano pepper or simply add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to taste.
