Pineapple Salsa Recipe:

- Prep is Key: Dice your pineapple, peppers, onions, and cilantro finely to get the right salsa texture. - Jalapeño Control: If you prefer a medium heat level, remove the jalapeño ribs and seeds before dicing. For spicier salsa, leave them in. - Acid-Heat Harmony: Use fresh pineapple and serranos for that perfect balance of sweet and spicy. - Freshness First: Use fresh cilantro for the best aroma and taste. If subbing with coriander, add it later to avoid bitterness. - Citrusy Zing: Squeeze in some fresh orange or grapefruit for extra freshness and a vibrant citrus kick. - Avo Control: Scoop avocado right before serving to avoid browning. - The Right Refrigeration: Keep your salsa fresh for up to 3 days by storing it tightly covered in the fridge.
