Pineapple Salsa

2 cups diced fresh pineapple
1 cup diced red pepper
1/2 c. Chopped cilantro
1/4 c. Finely chopped red onion
3 TBSP finely chopped jalapeño, stemmed and seeded
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of 1 large lime
Salt to taste

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients.  Stir until well combined.  Season with salt to taste.   Serve at room temperature or chilled.

I use this salsa on my chili rubbed pork chops, but I do grill the pineapple and jalapeño first. I think it gives it a deeper flavor. If you like your salsa a bit spicier, you could leave some of the jalapeño seeds and membrane on the pepper.  You could also serve this with chips or quesadilla. It is a nice change from regular tomato salsa.
