Cut fresh pineapple into small, even pieces. Smaller pieces make the salsa easier to scoop and help every bite taste balanced.
Place diced pineapple in a medium bowl. Add finely diced red onion, minced jalapeno, and chopped cilantro.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salsa. Start with one lime, then add more to taste.
Sprinkle with salt and stir gently until everything is combined. Taste and add additional salt if needed.
