BHA & BHT Free Gluten Free Pineapple Cucumber Salsa
Bright, juicy, and just a little bit spicy, this pineapple cucumber salsa is the kind of thing you'll want to put on absolutely everything. Sweet pineapple and cool cucumber create a contrast that feels refreshing and bold at the same time, while jalapeño and red onion bring just enough heat and bite to keep things interesting. A squeeze of fresh lime juice ties it all together with a citrusy punch that store-bought salsas simply can't replicate. Every single ingredient here is whole and fresh, which means no preservatives like BHA or BHT hiding in the mix — just real food doing all the heavy lifting. The short rest period before serving is a small but important step that lets the flavors meld and the juices develop into a light, fragrant dressing right in the bowl. Serve it alongside grilled fish or chicken, pile it onto tacos, or honestly just scoop it up with chips — it works beautifully in any direction.
