Pineapple Pico De Gallo

This Pineapple Pico De Gallo is perfect for summer! It is fresh and oh so delicious. It takes minutes to prep and goes great with just about anything. We love eating it with fish, chips and vegetables. It is sweet and fresh but still has the kick from the fresh raw red onion. It can be paired for either a sweet or savory dish.

This dish is a staple in my house during the summer months. I love to pair it with just about any seafood or just eat it with chips on its own. I will make a large bowl of this for any cookout I attend during the warm months and it is always a hit. I love to pair it with my halibut fish tacos!

Ingredients

• Pineapple-We like to use a whole one and make plenty for leftovers to use with an appetizer. Chop this baby up into small 1 inch cubes.
• Red pepper-Compliments the pineapple well, but any colored pepper will work.
• Cilantro-I like fresh cilantro, it enhances the flavor big time.
• Fresh lime juice-To keep this pico nice and fresh with adding a citrus touch to the sweet pineapple. 
• Red onions-For a nice crunch. I like red onions because they are more savory in this recipe. I use yellow onions for things where I want a sweet flavor.
• Salt – This will help offset the sweet fruit. I prefer to use pink Himalayan sea salt.

Expert Tips

• Tip # 1: You will want to make sure to use red, yellow, or orange bell peppers in this dish. They will be more sweet than a green bell pepper. I prefer to use a red bell pepper because the added color makes this dish even more beautiful.
• Tip # 2: Depending on the dish you are pairing this pico de gallo with, you can choose the size you chop your ingredients based on the meal. Depending the pairing, you. may want smaller chunks than others.
• Tip # 3: Limes are commonly seedless. When you juice your limes you can squeeze directly into the bowl.
