Ingredients

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the hearts of palm with the peppers, jalapeno, red onion, garlic, and cilantro. Toss to mix. Add the lime juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Toss again so the vegetables are well coated.

Scoop out the flesh of the pineapple with a melon baller or serving spoon - try and keep the pineapple in big pieces and leave the shell intact. Slice the pineapple chunks in thin strips and add it to the salad. Toss everything together and serve inside the hollowed-out pineapple.

    I must admit I don't care much for onions, but this was marvelous. The sweetness of the pineapple along with the cilantro, garlic and jalapeno. It's like a "party in your mouth"!

    What a colorful salad! We served this at a backyard party and some people used it as a topper for their tacos and the grilled halibut! A little bit spicy for some of the guests, so next time I'll use less jalapeno. The pineapple was a great addition to cut through the heat of the jalapeno.

    Great flavor and easy preparation. I cut back on the ground pepper and added some mango and papaya and it was out of this world!
