This salsa has a beautiful balance of sweet pineapple, spicy jalapeño, and zesty lime.

It’s naturally healthy, dairy-free, and gluten-free.

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Pro Tips Before You Start

Pat the pineapple dry to prevent the salsa from being too watery.

Always taste and season with salt before serving; it enhances all the flavors.

Letting the salsa rest for 15 minutes helps the flavors meld beautifully.

How to Make Pico De Gallo with Fruit

Step 1 – Prep the pineapple

Peel, core, and dice the pineapple into small even cubes. Pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2 – Prep the vegetables

Dice the red bell pepper, finely chop the onion, mince the jalapeño, and chop the cilantro.

Step 3 – Mix everything together

Add pineapple, bell pepper, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro into a large bowl. Toss gently.

Step 4 – Add seasoning

Pour in lime juice, season with salt and pepper, and fold until evenly coated.

Step 5 – Rest before serving

Allow the salsa to sit for 15 minutes so the flavors meld. Serve fresh or refrigerate.

What to Serve Them With

Spoon over grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp.

Serve with tortilla chips as a refreshing dip.

Use as a topping for tacos, burritos, or quesadillas.

Pair with salads for a fruity twist.

Variations / Substitutions

Swap pineapple for mango or peach for a sweeter salsa.

Use serrano peppers instead of jalapeño for extra heat.

Add cucumber or avocado for more texture.

Substitute lemon juice if lime isn’t available.

Storage & Leftovers

Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
