Notes
- Use ripe, sweet pineapple for the best flavor balance.
- Add the avocado right before serving to keep it from browning.
- Drain the beans well so the salsa doesn't get watery.
- For less heat, remove all jalapeño seeds. For more, leave them in or use a serrano.
- Store without avocado in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add avocado fresh.
- Mango or peach can replace the pineapple for a different twist.
