FRESH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Category: Salsa/ Gucamole

1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and chopped coarse (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped coarse
2 jalapeno chilies, seeds and ribs removed, chilies chopped coarse
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 red onion, chopped coarse
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro or parsley
2 tbsp lime juice
Plantain or blue corn chips

Working in 2 batches, pulse pineapple, bell pepper, jalapenos, garlic, onion, and cilantro in food processor or blender until coarsely chopped to salsa-like consistency. Stir in lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with chips.

Make-Ahead Note: This sweet and spicy salsa tastes even better after at least 1 hour in the refrigerator and can be made up to 1 day in advance.
