Ingredients

  • 1 medium fresh pineapple peeled, cored and cut into 3 inch chunks
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed (if using canned)
  • ½ cup red onion minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small jalapeno seeded and minced
  • 2 tbsp grapeseed oil or olive oil
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • cup cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Spray a grill pan with cooking spray and set over high heat.  Add the pineapple in a single layer and sear, about 2 minutes per side.  Set aside to until cool enough to handle.  Cut into small dice and add to a large bowl.
  • Add remaining ingredients to the pineapple and toss to combine.  Allow to rest for 30 minutes refrigerated.  Serve.

Notes

Tips for Storing
  • Room temperature: Do not leave this salsa out for more than 2 hours.
  • Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Stir before serving and add a fresh squeeze of lime to revive the flavors.
  • Freezing: Not recommended. The pineapple and onion become mushy and watery once thawed.
  • Reheating: This is a fresh, cold salsa — no reheating needed. Serve chilled or at room temperature straight from the fridge.
