Pineapple Salsa

This recipe is a great summertime recipe.  It can be served with anything.  Its great with chips or any kind of meat you grill on your barbecue.  Tomorrow I'll show you how I served it with chicken.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1/2 pineapple (about 2 cups cubed)
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
salt
pepper
hot sauce (optional)

Directions:
Peel, core, and cube a pineapple into 1/2 inch cubes.  Finely chop the green pepper and the red onion.  Mix all ingredients in a bowl.  Add the chopped garlic clove and stir.  Then add the parsley, dill, and lemon juice.  Stir until combined.  Sprinkle salt and pepper.  Shake in hot sauce.  I use about 4 dashes, but use however much you choose.  Very spicy would be about 8 dashes and little spice would be about 2 dashes.  Of course, you can always leave this out.  Stir all the ingredients together.  Chill in the fridge for an hour.  Stir at the half hour work because the pineapple juice from the pineapple may settle to the bottom of the bowl.  Enjoy with chips or your favorite grilled meats!
