Betty's Desktop Salsa

Maybe you will be smart enough to prepare this ahead of time. I'm not sure most offices offices besides ours come equipped with knives sharp enough to cut a whole pineapple. Sometimes in my office, it's best not to ask questions.

And you should get a whole pineapple for this, none of that expensive pre-cut kind. Make sure it's ripe by smelling it. If you don't smell pineapple it's not ready.

The recipe is taken from Whole Foods.

Makes about 2 cups
The tropical flavors of pineapple and lime combine with red onion, cilantro and serrano pepper for a salsa that's great with grilled pork, skirt steak, shrimp or tofu. It's also delicious with tortilla chips or spooned over tacos. For the best flavor, make at least 30 minutes ahead of time to allow the flavors to mingle.

Ingredients
2 cups diced fresh pineapple
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 serrano pepper, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
Juice and zest of 1 lime
1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Method
Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl. Serve immediately or cover and chill until ready to use.


To really impress your co-workers, serve with the top.
