Ingredients

• 0.5 fresh pineapple – peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
• cooking spray
• 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 small sweet onion, chopped
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 small jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon white sugar

Steps

1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Coat pineapple slices with cooking spray.
