Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh pineapple, finely diced

1 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 medium red onion, finely diced

1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust for spice preference)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

Zest of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)

1 avocado, diced (for serving, optional)

Tortilla chips or grilled fish (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by finely dicing the pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño pepper. Make sure all ingredients are roughly the same size for even mixing.

    Combine in a Bowl: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño.

      Add Fresh Herbs and Zest: Stir in the chopped cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest. If you’re using it, add the ground cumin at this stage for an earthy depth of flavor.

        Season the Salsa: Sprinkle with salt to taste, mixing gently to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Let the salsa sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

          Serve: Serve the salsa on its own or with diced avocado on top for a creamy contrast. This salsa pairs beautifully with tortilla chips or can be used as a refreshing topping for grilled fish.

            Store: If you have leftovers (though you likely won’t!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
