Paleo Pineapple Salsa
Bright, juicy, and loaded with tropical flavor, this pineapple salsa is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste like summer. Fresh pineapple brings natural sweetness, while grated ginger, lime juice, and apple cider vinegar layer in just enough zing to keep things interesting. The cucumber adds a cool crunch, and the cilantro and optional mint round it all out with a fresh, herby finish. Every single ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, making this a genuinely effortless fit for grain-free, legume-free eating without any substitutions or workarounds required. That short rest at room temperature is the secret — it gives the pineapple time to release its juices and lets all those flavors meld into something that tastes far more complex than the prep time suggests. Spoon it over grilled chicken or fish, scoop it with plantain chips, or eat it straight from the bowl — no judgment. It keeps in the fridge for up to two days, though it rarely lasts that long.
