Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 knife

Ingredients

  • 1 whole pineapple. Peeled cored and diced.
  • 1 red onion diced
  • ½ a jalapeno seeded and diced
  • 1 cup cilantro chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  • Start by dicing the fresh pineapple into small pieces. Ensure that the pieces are small and uniform for the best texture!
  • On a cutting board, finely chop the red onion and cilantro. If you prefer a milder pico de gallo, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before mincing.
  • In a large bowl, combine the pineapple,red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and stir well.
  • Add salt to your liking. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary!
  • For the best flavor, let the pico de gallo sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the taste. Fresh pineapple are key to achieving that perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • Adjust the Heat: If you like it spicy, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add a second one. For a milder version, use less or remove the seeds entirely.
  • Experiment with Add-Ins: Feel free to add other fruits like mango or avocado for a unique twist. A dash of cumin or a pinch of chili powder can also add an extra layer of flavor.
