Tips:

  • Use ripe pineapple for the best flavor. If your pineapple is not ripe, you can speed up the ripening process by placing it in a paper bag with an apple or banana for a few days.
  • For a spicier salsa, use a hotter pepper, such as a jalapeño or serrano pepper.
  • If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro. However, fresh cilantro will give you the best flavor.
  • Serve the salsa immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
