Ingredients

1/2 Cup Red Onion small dice
2 Tbsp Chives
4 Limes juiced
1/2 Cup Tomatoes chopped
1 Cup Pineapple small dice
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tbsp Jalapeno minced

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the diced pineapple, tomatoes, red onion, chives, and jalapeño pepper.
Add the cayenne pepper. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe ingredients for the best flavor.

Make sure to remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño pepper to reduce the heat.

Use gloves when you handle the jalapeño pepper so that the oils don’t burn your hands. Make sure to wash your hands as soon as you are done cutting the jalapeño. If you touch your eyes with jalapeño oil on your skin it could burn.

Cut all of the produce the same size for best flavor.

The smaller you chop the fruit and vegetables the better the over all flavor will be.

Don't over mix the ingredients, or the salsa will become mushy.

If you want to add some extra heat, you can leave the seeds in the jalapeño pepper or add some cayenne pepper.

Let the salsa sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
