Recipe Description:
Habanero chile gives this caramelized pineapple salsa recipe a little spice. If you’re looking to tame the heat, try fresh jalapeños instead. Serve with grilled chicken or fish, as a dip with tortilla chips or on top of your favorite tacos.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 1/2 large fresh pineapple, peeled, or 1 prepeeled pineapple, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- 1 cup peeled, seeded and diced cucumber (1/4-inch)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, loosely packed
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, or more to taste
- 1/2 habanero chile (including seeds), minced, or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Recipe Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium.
- Oil the grill rack. Grill pineapple slices, turning once, until slightly charred on both sides, 12 to 15 minutes total. Let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- Cut the pineapple into 1/4-inch dice, discarding the core if necessary. Combine in a large bowl with cucumber, onion, cilantro, lime juice, chile and salt. Serve at room temperature.
Recipe Tips & Notes:
- Oiling a grill rack before you grill foods helps ensure that the food won’t stick. Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
