Pecan Free Pineapple Salsa
Bright, juicy, and loaded with fresh flavor, this pineapple salsa is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste like a party. Sweet pineapple pairs beautifully with crisp cucumber, sharp red onion, and a hit of fresh ginger for a combination that's tropical without being one-note. A squeeze of lime and a splash of apple cider vinegar bring just enough acidity to balance the fruit's natural sweetness. Fresh cilantro ties it all together, and if you have mint on hand, stirring it in adds an extra layer of brightness that's genuinely worth it. The short resting time is the secret — letting the salsa sit for 15 minutes allows the pineapple to release its juices and the flavors to fully meld into something far greater than the sum of its parts. Serve it straight from the bowl with chips, spoon it over grilled fish or chicken, or pile it onto tacos for an instant upgrade. It keeps in the fridge for up to two days, though it rarely lasts that long.
