FRESH PINEAPPLE SALSA


1 cup fresh pineapple, finely diced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 teaspoon fresh jalapeno, finely minced (or choose another mild or hot pepper)
1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (or less for me!)
3 tablespoons light olive oil
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
dash cumin, to taste
dash of hot pepper sauce (Cholula is my favorite!)

Blend all ingredients in a bowl and allow to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving with fish, chicken or pork.

I used Anaheim pepper in place of the jalapeno, since that’s what I had on hand. I like a little more cumin and a nice amount of Cholula too. Also added some of the pineapple juice. Delicious!
