INGREDIENTS

  • 1 large pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 1 red bell pepper, halved lengthwise, seeds removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

MAKE IT

Step 1

Heat grill over a medium-high flame. Lightly brush pineapple slices, jalapeños and bell pepper with olive oil.

Step 2

Grill pineapple and peppers for 5 to 7 minutes or until grill marks appear and pineapple and peppers have begun to soften. Remove from grill; let cool.

Step 3

Chop grilled pineapple and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. You should have about 2 cups of pineapple and red bell pepper.

Step 4

Whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro; mix until well combined.

Step 5

Cut grilled jalapeño in half and remove seeds. Place in blender with cumin and Media Crema; cover. Blend on medium speed until smooth.

Step 6

Transfer from blender to bowl with pineapple mixture; stir until well combined. Enjoy! You can use it as a side or pair it with grilled chicken or fish.

Tip:

Try substituting Media Crema Lite for the regular Media Crema!
