Pineapple Salsa

I’m getting to like Salsa more and more. Salsa is a popular side dish of Mexican cuisine, easier than making any kinds of salad. Tomatoes and peppers are often used as the main ingredients. As I’ve got a beautiful pineapple sitting on my kitchen bench top, so didn’t need a second thought. I used the pineapple and tossed with other ingredients to go with my grilled chicken. Its natural sweetness with a hint of tangy taste just worked so well to balance the meat, giving you a very refreshing feel. Besides, are you curious how my grilled chicken looks and tastes like? The recipe will follow soon.

Ingredients:

• 1 pineapple, peeled, cored and diced
• ½ red onion, finely chopped

• 1 long red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp lime juice
• salt, to taste

1. Soak the pineapple in salted water for 10 minutes. Drain well.
2. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, letting the flavours combine together before serving. It goes really well with grilled meats.

Notes：

• Some people might feel itchy on their tongues after eating pineapples. By soaking the pineapple in salted for a while, it will help decrease the itchy sensitivity.
• The amount of chilli can be adjusted to your liking. If you find it's not hot enough, you may add more chillies, or mix in the chilli with seeds.
• The taste of red onions is milder and sweeter than the brown ones, great for making salsa and salad.
