Fresh Pineapple Pico De Gallo is a vibrant and refreshing twist on the classic salsa, combining sweet pineapple, zesty lime, and a hint of spice from jalapeños. It’s perfect for topping tacos, grilled meats, or as a refreshing snack with chips.

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups fresh pineapple, diced
  2. 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  3. 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  4. 1–2 jalapeños, seeds removed and finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  5. 1 tablespoon lime juice
  6. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  7. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Pineapple: Start by cutting the pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces. You can use fresh pineapple or canned pineapple (ensure it’s drained well).

  1. Chop the Vegetables: Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeños. Remove the seeds from the jalapeños to control the heat, or leave some seeds for a spicier version.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeños.
  3. Season: Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
  4. Chill: Allow the pico de gallo to sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and enhance the taste.
  5. Serve: Serve as a topping for tacos, grilled chicken, fish, or enjoy with tortilla chips.

Notes

  • If you prefer a creamier version, add diced avocado to the pico de gallo.
  • For extra heat, add more jalapeños or sprinkle in chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by omitting any non-vegan ingredients, such as honey.
  • This pico de gallo is best served fresh, but it will last for 1-2 days in the fridge.
