If you’re following the Modified AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) diet or the Core AIP, finding condiments that are compliant can be a challenge. Many store-bought salsas and pickles contain nightshades, unnatural preservatives, colorings, and mystery spices that are not suitable for those following the AIP.
That’s why making your own salsa is the best option. And with this recipe you can enjoy a flavorful and refreshing condiment that is tomato-free, chili-free, and additive-free!

How to Make this Free of Black pepper and Seeds
To make this salsa seed-free and fruit-based spice-free, simply omit the black pepper and ground dry mustard seed. These ingredients add a nightshade-free heat to the pickles, but you can replace them with extra ginger if you need to keep it fruit-based spice and seed spice-free.
The above omissions will also make it Core AIP compliant!
