Note
For best flavor, let the salsa chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the lime juice to tenderize the pineapple and meld the spices.
Adjust the heat level by removing the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño for milder salsa, or leaving them in for extra spice.
This salsa is best consumed within 2-3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
For a variation, add diced avocado or mango for extra creaminess and sweetness.
Ensure all produce is thoroughly washed before chopping. Use a sharp knife for uniform dicing to ensure consistent texture.
