A Note For More/Less Spicy Salsa
This recipe is what I could consider “medium” spicy salsa – it definitely has heat, but it’s not overpowering.
For a less spicy version, use only 1 jalapeno, or replace it with a milder green pepper such as poblano or bell pepper.
For a spicier version, include the jalapeno seeds in the salsa for a fiery flavor.
How Do You Make Salsa with Pineapple?
- Finely dice the pineapple, onion, garlic, and tomatoes. You can do this by hand, or by pulsing the ingredients in a food processor (I used a food processor). Add the jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and lime juice. Pulse again until your salsa reaches the desired consistency.
- If you salsa is watery (which it can be, depending on the variety of tomatoes you use), you can choose to drain the salsa before serving.
- Garnish with extra cilantro, and enjoy as a dip or as a condiment.
