Grilled Pineapple Salsa

Ingredients

• 1 pineapple, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
• 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus 1 teaspoon

Preparation

Step 1

Brush the pineapple slices lightly with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, then place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until softened slightly and nicely marked by the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to cool to room temperature. Dice the pineapple slices (discard the tough core portions) and place in a medium nonreactive bowl. Add the red onion, bell pepper, vinegar, jalapenos, lime juice, parsley and minced garlic. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and stir well to combine. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and set aside as you prepare the tuna.
