What’s In Pineapple Jalapeno Salsa Recipes?
See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!
- 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.
- Black Pepper – for a little kick at the end!
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 To Make This Recipe
- Finely dice the pineapple, onion, garlic, and tomatoes. You can do this by hand, or by pulsing the ingredients in a food processor. Add the jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and lime juice. Pulse again until your salsa reaches the desired consistency.
- If your 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 black pepper, and get those unsalted chips ready for dipping!
