Ingredients
- 3 cups or 18 oz fresh pineapples chunks
- 1 large jalapeno pepper (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped oranges (see notes)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- salt as per taste
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- In a food processor combine pineapple chunks and roughly crush them. If using a blender then pulse once or twice. Do not over do this step. There should be bites of pineapple and not its puree.
- Spoon out the crushed pineapple in a mixing bowl along with its juice. Add chopped jalapeno, chopped oranges, chopped onion, chopped cilantro and salt to it. Mix it roughly.
- Fold in lemon juice and mix well. ( Make sure the fruits do not lose its texture too much). Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes
- Peel the skin of the orange. Then, separate each slice and roughly remove the outer fiber from each slice. Finely chop each orange slice with a sharp knife. Remove the extra fiber from the orange slices as much as possible. Do not stress over it though.
- This salsa can be refrigerated in a glass container for about 2-3 days.
- Make sure to not puree pineapple. Just crushed pineapple chunks with its juice does the work here. Also, do not chop or dice pineapple because we want almost smashed pineapple in this salsa.
- Add salt on a bit higher side to balance out the sweet and tangy taste of it.
