I used Option 1 as a starting point, but only used 1/2 the pineapple; 1/2 the onion; added a persian cucumber and red bell pepper; and put both lemon and lime juice. Served it on top of grilled pork. It was excellent!
Absolutely delicious, I made Option 2. Makes a WHOLE lot of salsa, we'll be eating for the next few days. YUM!
