Pineapple Cucumber Salsa

Pineapple Cucumber Salsa

I love this stuff. I serve it with chips.  It is also incredible with grilled fish or chicken.  If you like it hot use two jalapeños or a hotter pepper. The last time I made this we were especially rich in cucumbers so I used several. Looking at these pictures, my cucumber should have been diced (the cumber looks more chopped than diced). I have also been known to use more cilantro. Actually, I have been making this so long I just approximate the amounts.

Pineapple Cucumber Salsa

1 Fresh Pineapple, Diced

1 Cucumber, Peeled, Seeded, and Diced

¼ Cup (60 ml) of Lime Juice

¼ Cup (40 g) of Red or Sweet Onion, Diced

2 Tbsps of Cilantro, Chopped

1 Jalapeño Pepper, Minced

1 Clove of Garlic, Minced

1 Tsp of Sugar

1 Tsp of Lime Zest

¼ Tsp of Salt

Place the pineapple, cucumber, lime juice, onion, and cilantro in a large bowl (I was transporting this to a pot luck dinner so I placed all of the ingredients into a large plastic bag and then poured it into a bowl when I got there). 

I used a plastic bag for easy and spill-free transport

In a smaller bowl combine the remaining ingredients. Combine with the pineapple and cucumber combination.  I like to refrigerate the salsa for a couple of hours for the tastes to mingle before serving.

The bottom line: will I make it again? Yes. Love it.
