Carrageenan 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 chunks of fresh pineapple meet cool, crisp cucumber, punchy red onion, and a kick of jalapeño — all tied together with a generous squeeze of lime. It's the sort of recipe that looks impressive on a table but comes together in minutes with nothing more than a knife and a mixing bowl. Many store-bought salsas and condiments sneak in thickeners and stabilizers that can be hard to spot on a label, so making your own from scratch means you know exactly what's in every bite. Every ingredient here is whole and fresh, with zero additives to worry about. A short rest before serving lets the lime juice and natural pineapple sweetness meld into something that tastes way more complex than the effort involved. Serve it alongside grilled fish or chicken, pile it onto tacos, or just go in with a chip — no judgment.
