This recipe doesn’t include cilantro (coriander) which many people (including my chief recipe eater) dislike. But if you have it and you like it, throw a few snips in! And if you’re aiming for “Most Impressive Dish at the Neighborhood Get Together”, definitely serve this salsa in a pineapple boat. Simply cut the pineapple in half, gently cut out the edible fruit, then spoon in your salsa. As they say in Spanish, buen apetito!

If you’re in a crunch for time, you can skip the grill and just chop everything together fresh!

Instructions

  • Light up the grill (or a panini grill) and cook the pineapple, bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno over medium/high heat until slightly charred, 5 to 10 minutes.

  • For chunky salsa, roughly chop all fruits and veggies and toss with seasoning. For less chunky salsa, throw everything in a food processor and blitz a few times until it reaches a consistency to your liking.

  • Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
