A light and refreshing salad that combines the sweetness of pineapple with the crispness of cucumber for a perfect summer treat.

  • Total Time: 15
  • Yield: 4-6

Ingredients

✓ 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
✓ 1 large cucumber, diced
✓ 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
✓ 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
✓ 1 lime, juiced
✓ Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

✓ Peel and dice 1 cup of pineapple into small pieces.

✓ Slice one large cucumber lengthwise into quarters; then thinly slice each quarter crosswise to get about a cup of diced cucumber.

✓ Finely chop 1/4 red onion, ensuring the pieces are small for even cooking.

✓ Chop 1/4 cup cilantro leaves to garnish or mix into the salad.

✓ In a large bowl, gently mix the diced pineapple, cucumber, and chopped red onion. Add the chopped cilantro for an extra burst of freshness.

✓ Pour in freshly squeezed lime juice over the mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Toss to coat all ingredients thoroughly.

✓ Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the salad; taste and adjust as needed for balance.

✓ This salad is best served fresh and cold straight from the fridge, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.

Notes

Handle the salad gently when mixing to avoid crushing the cucumber and pineapple pieces.
