Salsa 'Pineapple

By Kwasome

Variation: Slivered mint keeps this "salsa" in the realm of a salad. If you really want to push the limits, try substituting chopped fresh cilantro for the mint.

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh pineapple cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 3 Tbs thinly slivered fresh mint or lemon verbena
• 1 to 2 jalapeño peppers (preferably red for color contrast), seeded and minced; for a hotter salsa, leave the seeds in
• 2 Tbs fresh lime juice, or more to taste
• 1 Tbs light brown sugar, or more to taste
• Place the pineapple, mint, jalapeño(s), lime juice,

Preparation

Step 1

Place the pineapple, mint, jalapeño(s), lime juice, and brown sugar in a nonreactive mixing bowl, but don't mix them until 5 minutes before you are ready to serve. Taste for seasoning, adding more lime juice and/or brown sugar as necessary.
