Notes
Look for a pineapple that is ripe and sweet. Sniff the bottom of the pineapple — a sweet aroma indicates ripeness. Additionally, the pineapple should have a slightly soft texture when gently squeezed.
Aim for small and uniform pieces when chopping the pineapple, peppers, and onions. This ensures an even distribution of flavors and textures throughout the salsa.
If you prefer a spicier salsa, consider adding a small diced jalapeño pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes. Adjust the amount according to your heat preference.
Taste your salsa and adjust the ingredients to achieve the desired balance. Add more lime juice for tanginess, salt for seasoning, or cilantro for freshness. Don't be afraid to customize it to suit your taste.
