Pineapple Salsa
Tidbits for perfection: For optimum flavor, make certain the pineapple is really ripe. Roasted red peppers can be found in the refrigerated grocery section (usually near produce) of most health-oriented grocery stores. Plan accordingly, avocadoes tend to take a few days to ripen, keep this in mind if a ripe avocado is not available. Coconut and Macadamia nuts toast very quickly, watch closely as there is a small window between toasted and burned!
1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped
¼ cup roasted red pepper, chopped
¼ cup shredded carrots
⅛ cup shredded coconut, toasted
⅛ cup macadamia nuts, chopped and toasted
⅛ cup green onion, sliced
½ ripe avocado, cut into bite size pieces
In a medium bowl, combine pineapple with red pepper, shredded carrots, coconut, macadamia nuts and green onion. Just before serving, add avocado and stir just to combine. Yield: 4 servings.
