Pineapple Pico de Gallo

Print Recipe

A refreshing and vibrant salsa featuring juicy pineapple, vine-ripened tomatoes, zesty lime, and fresh herbs—perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups pineapple (diced)
  • 1 cup Roma tomatoes (diced)
  • 1/3 cup red onion (diced)
  • 1–2 jalapeños (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
  • Kosher salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Pineapple: If you’re working with a whole pineapple, start by slicing off the top and bottom, standing it upright on a cutting board. Carefully slice down the sides to remove the peel, then cut it into manageable chunks and dice! If using canned pineapple, squeeze out some excess juice and set it aside.
  2. Dicing the Tomatoes: Wash your Roma tomatoes and chop them into small, uniform pieces. This way, they mix evenly with the other ingredients. Set them aside while you work on the onions.
  3. Chop the Red Onion: Peel your red onion and get chopping! Aim for small bits to avoid overwhelming bites. If you find the onion taste too strong, remember that a quick soak in cold water can help tone it down.
  4. Jalapeño Time: Slice the jalapeños lengthwise and scrape out the seeds for a milder flavor. Mince them finely and add them in! For those brave souls who like heat, don’t be shy—include those seeds!
  5. The Lime Squeeze: Grab your lime and roll it on the countertop to release the juices. Cut it in half and squeeze out two tablespoons of that glorious lime juice right into the bowl.
  6. Chop the Cilantro: Finally, wash and chop the cilantro. Use fresh leaves for a beautifully fragrant finish. Add to your bowl as well.
  7. Mix It Up: Now that all your ingredients are beautifully diced and ready to go, combine them gently in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle a pinch of kosher salt over the mixture, and give everything a good toss until fully incorporated.
  8. Let It Chill: Cover your bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld beautifully!

Notes

Serve with tortilla chips, over grilled meats, or as a taco filling. For variations, consider adding diced avocado or swapping herbs.
