I first made this with quesadillas, but realized quickly it can be used for whole lots of stuff that needs a spicy, citrus-y complement. It's more like a pineapple pico than salsa, but who am I to start a discourse on the semantics of Mexican condiments?

It doesn't turn out blurry in real life. That's just the picture ...



Ingredients:

1/2 Cup seeded and diced tomatoes (if you want to make this in a hurry, omit this and the jalapenos and use a can of Rotel Hot, though it won't taste quite as good)

1/2 cup finely diced golden pineapple

1/4 cup minced red onion

1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro leaves

1 teaspoon minced jalapeno (To taste, really. I leave the seeds in - obviously, removing them would make it less hot)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

Salt to taste.

Directions:

Mix it all up in a bowl. Give it a couple hours to chill in the fridge.
