Ingredients

• Pineapple: Choose a ripe pineapple(with a bright golden-yellow color at the bottom). Ripe pineapples boast a beautiful blend of sweet and tangy tropical flavors that work best in this recipe. You can substitute canned pineapple, but drain the excess liquid.
• Tomatoes: I used plum tomatoes today; feel free to use any tomato(like cherry or Roma tomatoes) for this recipe. 
• Red Onion: Its crunchy, moist textures absorb and balance well with the flavors of pineapple and tomatoes. Yellow onion also works fine.
• Cilantro: My family loves cilantro, so I added a handful. However, if you're not fond of cilantro, you can skip adding it.
• Jalapeño pepper: This ingredient can make the salsa mild or hot, so add it mindfully. If you prefer the salsa to be super hot, chop the jalapeños with their seeds and ribs(or double up the quantity). On the other hand, if you prefer the salsa to be mild, remove the seeds and the white membrane from its center(which holds most of the heat).
• Lime juice: It tames the sharp tastes of the other ingredients and enhances the overall flavor of this pineapple pico de Gallo.

How To Make Pineapple Pico De Gallo?

• Prepare the Ingredients: Carefully remove the hard, thick skin of the pineapple with a sharp knife. Discard the eyes(which can provide an irritating sensation after eating) and chop them finely.
• Prepare the Other Ingredients: Finely chop the tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper to match the size of the chopped pineapple.
• Prepare the Jalapeños: Wear gloves if you're new to handling spicy peppers or have sensitive skin. Slice the jalapeños lengthwise, then remove the seeds and white membrane using a spoon. Reserve them if you want to adjust the heat later. Finally, chop them.
• Toss the chopped: Add pineapple, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, and salt to a medium-sized mixing bowl. 
• Combine: Mix well using a spatula.
• Enjoy your pineapple Pico De Gallo as a dip!
