Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by dicing the fresh pineapple, Roma tomatoes, and bell pepper into small cubes for even texture. Finely chop the red onion and jalapeno, being cautious if you prefer less heat. Set all the chopped ingredients aside in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In that mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and jalapenos. Add in the fresh cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Next, season the salsa by sprinkling salt to taste into the mixture. Taste a small spoonful, and adjust the salt or lime juice according to your preference.
  4. Cover your mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salsa to an airtight container, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. After chilling, remove the salsa from the refrigerator and give it a quick toss to mix any settled juices. Serve your salsa in a colorful bowl alongside crispy tortilla chips.
