Ingredients
- 1 ripe pineapple, diced
- 1 habanero pepper, finely chopped (adjust to your heat preference)
- 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 4 green onions, sliced
- Juice of 2 lemons
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple: Cut the pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces. Make sure you’ve got ripe fruit, or it’ll taste like cardboard!
- Chop the Peppers: Wearing gloves, finely chop the habanero and jalapeño. If you want to keep your taste buds intact, don’t be a bloody hero; remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you're sensitive to heat!
- Slice the Onions: Chop the green onions and add them to the bowl. We want freshness, not a bloody onion soup!
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, chopped peppers, and sliced green onions. Give it a good stir, but don’t turn it into mush, alright?!
- Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice of two lemons over the mixture. This will add a zesty kick and balance the sweetness. Don’t be stingy—use all that juice!
- Season: Add salt to taste. Remember, seasoning is key. It’s not just a sprinkle; give it a good pinch!
- Chill: Let the salsa sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to mingle and develop. Patience is a virtue, so don’t rush it!
- Serve: Serve this incredible salsa with your favorite tacos, grilled chicken, or just with tortilla chips. You’ve earned it!
There you have it! A fiery, fresh, and utterly delicious pineapple salsa that will make your taste buds dance. Don’t just serve it—own it! Now get in that kitchen and make something bloody brilliant!
