Refreshing Pineapple Cucumber Salad

Print Recipe

A vibrant and refreshing salad combining the tropical sweetness of pineapple with the crunch of cucumbers, tossed in zesty lime juice and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Pineapple (diced, fresh or canned, drained)
  • 1 Cucumber (sliced thinly)
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients (10 minutes): Gather all your ingredients. Dice the pineapple and let fresh ones sit to enhance sweetness.
  2. Cucumber slicing (3 minutes): Use a knife or mandoline slicer for thin slices. Salt the cucumber and let sit to remove excess water.
  3. Mix the dressing (5 minutes): Combine lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and whisk until emulsified.
  4. Combine the ingredients (5 minutes): In a large bowl, mix pineapple, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro, then pour over the dressing and toss gently.
  5. Set to chill (10 minutes): Pop the salad in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  6. Taste test (1 minute): Adjust lime juice, salt, or pepper to taste before serving.
  7. Plate your creation (2 minutes): Serve in a bowl, garnished with cilantro.

This salad can be served as a refreshing side with grilled meats or as a light starter before a main meal.
