Chunky Pineapple Salsa
Pineapple is one of those fruits that has a lot of admirers and very few detractors. It is something, which just about everyone loves, but that most of us do not actually eat all that often. For the most part, people just do not know what to do with this sweet-tart tropical fruit other than to eat it fresh or include it in one of a relatively small number of dessert recipes.
While these are perfectly good uses for pineapple, it can also be the star of some great salsas, like this chunky pineapple salsa recipe. With sweet pineapple, the heat of jalapeno peppers and chili powder, the herbal zip of cilantro and black pepper and the tangy citrus flavor of fresh lime juice, this is a salsa, which gets you to stand up and take notice.
Better yet, it is a very easy salsa to make; even more so if you are using a food processor. Like any other salsa, though, it will taste better if you give it some time for the flavors to blend, but it is also easy to make this chunky pineapple salsa recipe ahead of time.
Pineapple Salsa with Tomatoes and Jalapenos

1 cup pineapple (fresh or canned), cut into small (but not too small) pieces
2 cups Roma tomatoes, diced
1 small red onion, diced
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped finely
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (adjust to taste)
juice of 1 lime
¼ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp black pepper
salt, to taste
Preparation:
This is an easy recipe to prepare and can be done very quickly. If you are using a food processor, simply add all of your ingredients (except for the salt) and pulse 3-4 times. Even if you are doing everything by hand, this chunky pineapple salsa can still be prepared in as little as 15 minutes.
Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight before serving, if possible.
