Ingredients
  

Salad Components
  • 2 cups ripe pineapple, diced Choose fresh fruit for the best flavor and texture.
  • 2 cups cucumbers, diced English or Persian cucumbers are preferred for a less watery salad.
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced Soak in water to mellow the flavor if desired.
Dressing
  • 1/4 cup lime juice Freshly squeezed lime juice is recommended.
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup Use agave for a vegan option.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust to balance flavors.
Garnish
  • Fresh cilantro or mint Optional, add just before serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the diced pineapple, cucumbers, and red onion, ensuring uniform dice for balanced flavors.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey (or agave), salt, and pepper until the honey dissolves.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine using a light folding motion.
  4. Garnish with fresh cilantro or mint just before serving.
  5. Serve chilled, allowing it to rest in the fridge for 10 to 20 minutes for flavors to meld.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh. Store undressed components separately to maintain crunch. Dressed salad should be consumed within 4 to 6 hours for optimal texture.
