Cooking Notes
I grilled the pineapple and jalapenos before adding to this and it was suberb! Also, put in a full pineapple and had it like a salad/salsa. Great base recipe!
Didn't have jicama (never seen it in the UK) but added apple instead - it was surprisingly filling
Substituted one regular cucumber (peeled, seeded, and then diced) for the jicama and drained crushed canned pineapple for the fresh pineapple. Used 1 minced fresno chile instead of the jalapeno or serrano. It was a big hit.
I've always made a mango-lime-cilantro salsa for salmon, but this recipe gave me a great new alternative. The textural combination -- going from the softness of the avocado to the medium firmness of the pineapple to the crunch of the jicama -- is great, as is the series of flavor contrasts. Now... if can just keep from slicing my fingers off while peeling the jicama....
Delicious and it keeps for days...will definitely make over and over again
I LOVED this! I made fish tacos and served this with them and it was perfect. I also ended up eating quite a lot of it with a spoon. :)

I used basil instead of cilantro and it was really good too. It also works well with mint. I used raw salmon and I liked it even better than cooked salmon.
Left out the jicama, added onion, used one jalepeno. Very good.
