Ingredients
2 cups fresh pineapple, finely diced
2 chipotle peppers in adobo, finely minced
0.5 cup red onion, finely diced
0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Dice the pineapple into uniform quarter-inch cubes.
Mince the chipotle peppers into a fine paste.
Combine the pineapple, minced peppers, and red onion in a large glass mixing bowl.
Stir in the fresh chopped cilantro and lime juice until thoroughly coated.
Season with a pinch of sea salt to taste.
Refrigerate for at least thirty minutes to allow the flavors to marry before serving.
Notes
Select pineapples that feel heavy for their size with a floral aroma. Ensure onions are diced to the same size as the pineapple for consistent texture. Dry the cilantro thoroughly before chopping to avoid excess moisture. If using canned pineapple, ensure it is drained well and avoid syrup-packed varieties.
