▢ ½ red onion - diced
▢ 1 large jalapeño pepper - seeded and diced (about ½ cup)

Instructions

Combine the lime juice, cilantro, pineapple juice, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
Add the pineapple, bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño to the bowl, and stir gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.

Notes

Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
If you're sensitive to spicy foods, feel free to leave out the jalapeño.
Delicious additions: Avocado, mango, cherry tomatoes.
For best results, make this recipe using fresh pineapple. In a pinch, canned pineapple will work, but fresh, ripe pineapple will taste best.
