Salad Ingredients

1 whole ripe pineapple, diced Use pre-cut pineapple if short on time.
2 whole cucumbers, diced English cucumbers preferred for their thin skin.
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped Rinse under cold water for milder flavor, if desired.
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped Substitute with mint or basil if not a fan.

Dressing Ingredients

2 whole limes, juiced Ensure limes are juicy.
to taste salt

Instructions

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the diced pineapple, cucumbers, red onion, and cilantro. Toss gently to mix the colors.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, salt, and pepper until the salt dissolves.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish or topping for tacos or grilled meats.

Notes

For best texture, keep cucumber separate until serving, and if using pre-cut pineapple, check for ripeness. The salad is best when fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 48 hours.
