Alpha Gal Friendly Gluten Free Pineapple Cucumber Salsa
Bright, juicy, and just a little fiery, this fresh salsa is the kind of thing you'll want to put on absolutely everything. Sweet pineapple and cool cucumber create a balance that feels both refreshing and satisfying, while jalapeño and red onion bring just enough heat and bite to keep things interesting. A squeeze of lime and a handful of cilantro tie it all together with that punchy, vibrant flavor you'd expect from a restaurant-quality condiment. For anyone navigating alpha-gal syndrome, this recipe is a natural fit — every single ingredient is plant-based and straightforward, with zero mammalian products to worry about. There's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything; it's just fresh produce, citrus, and spice. That short 10-minute rest before serving is a small but important step that lets the juices meld and the flavors deepen beautifully. Serve it alongside grilled fish or chicken, pile it onto tacos, or scoop it up with tortilla chips for a crowd-pleasing appetizer that disappears fast.
