Dairy Free Pineapple Spears with Lime & Ginger
Sweet, juicy pineapple gets a serious upgrade here with a bright, zippy dressing of fresh lime juice, lime zest, grated ginger, and a touch of honey. The combination is bold and refreshing — the kind of thing that makes you reach for another spear before you've even finished the first. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of dairy, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-reading required. The pinch of sea salt is a small but genius move that pulls all the flavors together and makes the pineapple taste even more like itself. Torn fresh mint scattered over the top adds a cool, herbal finish that takes the whole plate from simple to stunning. This is the kind of dish that disappears fast at a cookout, a brunch spread, or honestly just a Tuesday afternoon snack.
