What’s In Pineapple Jalapeno Salsa Recipes?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

• Pineapple
• Onion – I used a sweet yellow onion, but you could use white or red!
• Tomatoes
• Limes – freshly juiced!
• Jalapeno Peppers – or a less spicy alternative, see note below!
• Cilantro – optional, if you like cilantro. Some people don’t so you can use parsley instead, or omit the herbs all together.
• Sea salt and black pepper

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?

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Garnish with extra cilantro, and enjoy as a dip or as a condiment.
