This is a simple salsa with a bright acidity, one that you could temper with some diced mango if you like. I’ve called for a single jalapeño. You could use two if you like. Just keep all the flavors in balance – sweet, salty, sour and fiery. It’s terrific on pork and with grilled fish, on tacos or as an accompaniment to breakfast eggs.

esther

will canned pineapple work?

OMG! This tasted amazing. The only thing I would change in reduce chile powder to 1/2 tsp. I love spicy food but I added 1 tsp chile and it was very spicy. The Jalapeno is enough to give the punch whenever you take a bite.

Used canned pineapple and Tajin (instead of the chili powder, salt and ground coriander) and it was delicious.

Grilled the pineapple w red bell pepper chunks & red onion slices, added evoo + lime juice, a few spices. A big hit all around!

First recipe from NYT that I felt was a fail- made it for a party- followed the instructions- it was too salty and lacked flavour. Very disappointed

Amazing, I ate it all in 2 days. I can’t wait to make it again.
