Mediterranean Diet Friendly Gluten Free Pineapple Cucumber Salsa
Sweet, juicy pineapple meets cool cucumber in a salsa that feels like a vacation in a bowl. The jalapeño brings just enough heat, while fresh lime juice and cilantro tie everything together with a bright, herbaceous punch. This is exactly the kind of dish that fits naturally into a produce-forward, whole-food way of eating — every ingredient is fresh, plant-based, and completely unprocessed. A short rest at room temperature is the secret step here, giving the juices time to mingle and the flavors to deepen before you even pick up a chip. Spoon it over grilled fish or chicken, pile it onto tacos, or serve it straight from the bowl as a vibrant starter. The optional cumin adds a subtle earthy warmth that makes the whole thing feel a little more complex without any extra effort.
