Today’s Unique Creation: Spicy Pineapple Salsa

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a special recipe that combines the sweetness of pineapple with a spicy kick in a vibrant salsa. I love making this dish when I’m craving something fresh and exciting, perfect for a summer BBQ or a cozy night in.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small pineapple, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin

Kitchen Tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • citrus juicer

I start by dicing a small pineapple into small chunks and finely chopping half of a red onion. I seed and mince a jalapeno for a spicy kick and chop up a handful of fresh cilantro. In a mixing bowl, I combine the pineapple, red onion, jalapeno, and cilantro. I squeeze the juice of a lime over the mixture and season with a pinch of salt and half a teaspoon of cumin. I give everything a good mix until well combined.

This salsa is best served chilled, so I pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. The sweetness of the pineapple, the heat of the jalapeno, and the freshness of the cilantro all come together beautifully in this dish.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 500 grams, making about 4 servings. Each serving is around 125 grams, with an approximate calorie count of 60 per serving.

Here’s a unique tip: for an extra burst of flavor, try grilling the pineapple before dicing it for the salsa. The caramelized edges add a smoky touch that takes this dish to the next level.

I encourage you to give this Spicy Pineapple Salsa a try and feel free to adjust the spice level or ingredients to suit your taste. Enjoy this vibrant and refreshing dish with chips, tacos, grilled meats, or as a topping for your favorite dishes. Happy cooking!
