Is salsa the same as pico de gallo?

Pico de gallo, also known as Salsa Fresca or fresh salsa, is a type of salsa made with fresh, uncooked tomatoes and other vegetables. Or, in this case, pineapple.

Can I make this salsa the night before?

Yes but I recommend not adding the lime juice and salt the night before. It will draw out the water out of the tomatoes and pineapple and will turn very watery. Add the salt and lime right before serving.

Is pico de gallo healthy?

Yes! It's basically a finely diced salad made with fresh fruits and vegetables you use as a side so it is very healthy and good for you!

Instructions

To dice the pineapple, remove the top and bottom of your pineapple and cut along the skin, removing all of it while trying to cut off as little pineapple as possible.
Cut around the middle core and dice the pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces.
Cut your tomatoes into quarters and remove the seeds. Dice them into similar-sized small pieces as the pineapple.
Add the chopped pineapple, tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeno to a large mixing bowl.
Add lime juice, sea salt, black pepper, and tajin (if using).
Toss everything gently together to mix.
Serve the pico de gallo with tortilla chips as an appetizer or in tacos, burritos, bowls, salads, or as a side with protein.

Notes

Storing: Once you add the juice and salt, the tomatoes will release a lot of water so I recommend adding them right before serving. If you're planning to store the salsa and serve it in a few hours instead of right away, I recommend storing it without the lime juice and salt. It's ok to be stored with them, it will just release a lot of water. The salsa will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
