Add the fresh pineapple chunks to a blender or food processor.

Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender’s power.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add another pinch of salt or a little more honey for a sweeter dressing.
Pour the mixture into a serving container or jar with a lid.
Chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Give the dressing a quick stir or shake before serving. Drizzle over salads, use as a dip, or enjoy as a marinade for grilled meats.
