  • Author: Jennie Graham
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Description

A fresh and vibrant pineapple salsa served with crispy tortilla chips, perfect for parties, snacks, or as a refreshing appetizer. This tropical salsa combines sweet pineapple with zesty lime and jalapeño heat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 large bag tortilla chips

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare Pineapple – Dice the fresh pineapple into small, uniform pieces about 1/4 inch in size for optimal texture and easy eating
  • Step 2: Dice Onion – Finely dice the red onion and place it in a large mixing bowl, ensuring pieces are small enough to complement the pineapple
  • Step 3: Add Remaining Ingredients – Add the diced pineapple, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped jalapeño to the bowl with the onion
  • Step 4: Season and Mix – Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and season with salt to taste, then mix gently until all ingredients are evenly combined
  • Step 5: Chill – Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together
  • Step 6: Serve – Remove from refrigerator and serve immediately with crispy tortilla chips alongside

Notes

  • Choose a ripe pineapple that yields slightly to pressure and has a sweet aroma at the base for maximum flavor and natural sweetness
  • Remove jalapeño seeds completely for mild heat, or leave some seeds in if you prefer more spice in your salsa
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice rather than bottled for brighter, more vibrant flavor that really makes the salsa pop
  • Taste and adjust seasoning after chilling, as flavors intensify and you may need additional salt or lime juice
