Lactose Free Pineapple Salsa
Fresh pineapple, crisp cucumber, and a bright hit of lime come together in a salsa that tastes like summer in a bowl. The natural sweetness of the pineapple plays beautifully against the sharpness of red onion and apple cider vinegar, while grated ginger adds a subtle warmth that keeps every bite interesting. Optional fresh mint takes the whole thing to another level if you have it on hand. This is one of those recipes where every single ingredient is naturally free of dairy, so there's nothing to swap, substitute, or second-guess — just chop, toss, and go. Letting it rest for a few minutes before serving is the small but important step that lets the pineapple release its juices and pulls all the flavors into a cohesive, vibrant sauce. Spoon it over grilled fish or chicken, pile it onto tacos, or just scoop it up with tortilla chips straight from the bowl.
