Hula Grill Pineapple Salsa

Source: Hula Grill, Maui

Pineapple Salsa can be served with grilled fish or chicken. It's a good dip with chips. Or it can be served with quesadillas - on Maui it's made with the local Puna goat cheese. Other goat cheese can be substituted. And the amount of garlic can be reduced to taste.

1/3 cup coarsely chopped tomato
1 tablespoon Maui or other sweet onion
1 fresh seeded jalape o pepper
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup diced tomato (1/4-inch pieces)
2 tablespoons diced Maui or other sweet onion (1/4-inch pieces)
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped cilantro
1/2 cup finely diced very sweet fresh pineapple

Puree first seven ingredients in food processor or blender.

Just before serving, toss with remaining ingredients and serve.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups salsa.
