2 Pineapple peeled and sliced 1/2 Onions minced 1/4 cup Bell Peppers optional, I didn't add 1/4 cup Cucumbers cubed fine 1/2 cup Tomatoes deseeded and diced 2 Tbsp Fresh Mint leaves finely chopped Dressing 1/4 tsp Chaat Masala 1/4 tsp salt 2 tsp Lemon Juice 1/4 tsp Chopped green chillies
Heat a grill pan, roast the pineapple slices on both sides on medium heat till slightly charred and a smoky aroma wafts. Takes about 5-7 mins.
Pro Tip : Once you place the pineapples on the pan, lightly salt it on both sides so the juices begin to release and they caramelise faster
You can also use an air fryer / oven to grill the pineapples before mincing them
Rest these slices for 2 mins and then chop it into bite sized chunks (see notes for details)
In a large bowl, add the roasted pineapple chunks, red onions, diced tomatoes,Cucumbers and peppers.
Whisk together the dressing in a small bowl.
Add the dressing to the salsa and mix well.
Finish with shredded mint and serve immediately as is or with some nachos
I served it with some homemade roti nachos (click here for the recipe)
