IS PINEAPPLE ZERO POINTS ON WEIGHT WATCHERS?
Yes, pineapple is zero points and so is this Pineapple Jalapeno salsa recipe. The tangy dip is totally Weight Watchers friendly with zero points on the Weight Watchers Freestyle US Plan and Flex UK Plan.
In addition, this recipe provides lots of vitamins A, B6, B12 & D. It is full of iron, magnesium, calcium and antioxidants.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE THIS PINEAPPLE JALAPENO SALSA
Here are the salsa ingredients that you will need.
- 1 Whole Pineapple
- 1 Small Purple Onion
- 1-2 Limes
- 3-4 Roma Tomatoes
- 1 Small Orange Pepper
- 1 Jalapeno
- Fresh Cilantro
- 1 tsp. Salt
- ½ tsp. Cumin
HOW TO MAKE WEIGHT WATCHERS PINEAPPLE SALSA
Cut the pineapple down the center lengthwise so the stem is also cut down the center. Do this carefully so the stems stay attached to each half.
Cut a grid pattern of squares into each pineapple half making sure not to cut through the rind. I left about an inch of pineapple around the edge of the rind.
Dig out the pineapple chunks and chop them into very small chunks. Put them into a large bowl.
Chop the tomatoes, onion, orange pepper, and jalapeno pepper into small pieces.
Put those in the bowl with the pineapple.
Chop a small bunch of cilantro and put that in the bowl along with the salt and the cumin.
Gently mix everything together and squeeze the juice of one or both the limes over the salsa and mix again.
Add salsa to the hollowed-out pineapple halves, then serve with tortilla chips or other low-point crackers.
This Weight Watchers salsa makes a delicious summer snack or even a light meal!
