INGREDIENTS

  • 1 medium pineapple, diced (about 3 cups)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • ½ medium onion, diced
  • 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced (optional)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • ¼ tsp sea salt

DIRECTIONS

  • In a medium serving bowl, combine the pineapple, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Add the lime juice and salt, and stir to combine.
  • Season to taste with additional lime juice (for zing) and/or salt (for more overall flavor) if it doesn’t taste amazing just yet.
  • For best flavor, let the pico de gallo rest for 10 minutes or longer before serving. It’s best served fresh but keeps well, chilled, for up to 4 days.
