Prep: 15 Min. Cook: 0 Min. Total: 15 Min. Servings: 10

Ingredients

• whole pineapple (use as a bowl)
• 1 cup diced pineapple
• 1 cup diced bell peppers (any combination for greater color)
• 1 cup diced Roma tomatoes
• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/4 cup minced red onion
• 4 tablespoons lime juice (approx. 2 fresh limes)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/3 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon diced jalapenos

Directions

1. Begin by making the pineapple bowl. Cut about 1/3 of the pineapple off, leaving the stem attached to the larger piece of the pineapple. Cut around the outer edge of the fruit and place cuts across the middle as well. Using a metal spoon, scoop out the scored pineapple. It should come out in chunks. Empty the pineapple juice from the bowl.
2. Dice the removed pineapple chunks for the cup needed to make the salsa. You can save the rest of the pineapple for later use.
3. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
4. Salsa can be stored in the fridge overnight or for a few hours until you are ready to serve it. To serve, transfer the salsa into the pineapple bowl.

Note

The more jalapeno seeds, the spicier the salsa! If you enjoy a mild salsa, consider leaving all or most of the seeds out. If you like it hot, leave all of the seeds in.
