How to Make Pineapple Habanero Salsa

  1. Finely dice the pineapple, red onion, and habanero pepper (or jalapeño). If using habanero, wear gloves to avoid skin irritation.
  2. Roughly chop the cilantro.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red onion, pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil.
  4. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Gently toss all ingredients together. Let the salsa sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For a smoother salsa, you can pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor (optional).
  7. Serve immediately, or cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before serving.
