Method

Preparation

Start by chopping the fresh pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, add chopped pineapple, diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and parsley.
Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the mixture, allowing the citrus to brighten all the flavors.
Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Gently toss all the ingredients with a spoon or spatula until everything is well incorporated.
For best results, let the salsa sit for at least 30 minutes.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasonings, including lime juice and salt, based on your preference.
Serve alongside your favorite dishes or as a refreshing snack.

Notes

Use ripe pineapple for optimal sweetness; the riper, the better! This salsa is versatile; try it with grilled chicken, seafood, or as a topping for tacos. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
