Gut Friendly Pineapple Spears with Lime & Ginger
Sweet, juicy pineapple gets a serious upgrade here with a bright dressing of fresh lime juice, lime zest, grated ginger, and a touch of honey. The combination is zingy and refreshing in the best possible way — the kind of thing that tastes far more impressive than the effort involved. Ginger is a well-loved ingredient for supporting digestive comfort, and paired with the natural enzymes in fresh pineapple, this is a snack or side dish that genuinely earns its place on a gut-friendly table. A pinch of sea salt pulls everything together and makes the fruit's natural sweetness pop even more. Torn fresh mint scattered over the top adds a cool, herbal finish that takes it from simple to stunning. It comes together in minutes with no cooking required, making it an easy go-to when you want something that feels indulgent but is actually doing your body a favor.
