Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups pineapple diced, about one-half a pineapple
  • ¼ cup red onion diced
  • 1 cup bell pepper diced
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • 3-4 habanero peppers seeded and diced
  • 1-2 tablespoon lime juice
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Cut the pineapple in half and remove the rind and core. Dice the pineapple into small pieces. You will need approximately ½ of a large pineapple for 2.5 cups.
  • Dice the red onion and bell pepper, and roughly chop the cilantro. Add to a bowl along with the pineapple
  • Carefully remove the stem and seeds from the habanero peppers and dice them very small. Add to the bowl with the other ingredients.
  • Add 1-2 tablespoons of lime juice to the bowl and stir to combine the ingredients. Add salt to taste, if desired.

Notes

  • Take time selecting fresh, ripe produce.
  • Handle habaneros with gloves and cut them last so the heat doesn't transfer to other ingredients on the cutting board.
  • You can adjust the flavors to your liking by using less or more of the peppers, lime juice, and salt.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
