2. Refrigerating the prepared salsa for about a half hour helps the flavors interact with one another. You can refrigerate the salsa covered in a bowl and then transfer it to your carved out pineapple to serve.

Using the pineapple to make a serving bowl is optional however, it does make for an impressive presentation. Please note that this will make two bowls, one from each half of the pineapple.

2. Using a smaller knife, make a cut around the outer edge of the pineapple and then make cuts across the middle and from top to bottom.
3. Use a metal spoon to scoop out the pineapple chunks. Minus the core, which will be the harder section to cut in the center of the pineapple.
4. You can wrap the the pineapple bowl and refrigerate it until needed.
