Equipment
- Medium Mixing Bowl
- Cutting Board
- Sharp Knife
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pineapple diced
- 1/4 cup Red Onion finely diced
- 2 tbsp Cilantro finely chopped
- 1 Jalapeno diced
- 1 tbsp Lime Juice or lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Honey optional
- Salt to taste

Notes
- Use Fresh, Ripe Pineapple: Fresh pineapple adds the best flavour and sweetness to the salsa. Look for one that’s golden and slightly soft to the touch. If using canned pineapple, make sure to drain it well.
- Balance the Heat: Adjust the heat by controlling how much jalapeño you use. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder salsa, or leave them in for extra spice.
- Make It Ahead: Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15–30 minutes before serving. This gives the flavours time to meld and makes the salsa taste even better!
