Plantation Pineapple-Chile Salsa

"Sweet pineapple, with its tropical overtones and acidic bite, makes a terrific salsa for shrimp,  grilled sausage, Won Ton Crisps, or Baked Tortilla Chips." Peggy Fallon

  • 1/2 ripe pineapple
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh jalapeno pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
 

Method

Trim the top and bottom from the pineapple half.  Split in half lengthwise and remove the tough center core.  Slice off the skin and remove the eyes.  Cut the pineapple into 1/2-nch dice and place in a medium bowl.  (There will be about 2 1/2 cups.)

Add the bell pepper, cilantro, scallions, lime juice, jalapeno, and  salt to the pineapple.  Toss gently to mix.

Transfer to a small bowl and serve at once, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

Makes about 3 cups; serves 10 to 12
