Spicy Pineapple Salsa (Fresh, Easy & Gut-Friendly)

Sometimes your gut just needs a little zing.
This spicy pineapple salsa is light, fresh, and packed with flavor but without the heavy, gut-irritating ingredients found in store-bought salsas. Pineapple gives a natural sweetness, jalapeño brings a kick, and lime ties it all together with a tangy twist.

Use it to brighten up tacos, grilled chicken, fish, or even as a snack with grain-free chips. And don't forget to save this pin so you won't lose it for the next time you want to use it!

Why It’s Gut-Friendly

• Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that supports digestion.

• Cilantro helps detoxify heavy metals and supports liver health.

• Fresh lime juice stimulates digestive juices for better motility.

Serving Ideas

• Spoon over grilled chicken or shrimp for a quick weeknight dinner.

• Use as a topping for fish tacos or cauliflower rice bowls.

• Pair with cassava or plantain chips for a healthy snack.

Ingredients (Makes ~1 cup)

• ½ cup pineapple, finely diced

• 1 tbsp red onion, chopped

• 1 tbsp cilantro, chopped

• ½ jalapeño, minced (remove seeds for less heat)

• Juice of ½ lime

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine pineapple, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.

2. Squeeze lime juice over the top and mix well.
