Sweet & Spicy Pineapple Salsa Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

20 10 30

Ingredients

1/2 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 jalapeno peppers
1 medium mango, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 green onions, finely chopped
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Directions

Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill pineapple, covered, over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Grill jalapenos until tender, turning occasionally.
Let pineapple and peppers cool slightly; finely chop and transfer to a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients. Chill at least 2 hours. Before serving, allow salsa to come to room temperature. Yield: 2 cups.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
