Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) pineapple
- 1.5 cups (diced) cucumber
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) cilantro
- 1 (juiced) lime
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and cutting it into small, bite-sized cubes. Measure out 2 cups and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Wash and peel the cucumber (if desired). Dice it into similar-sized cubes as the pineapple. Measure 1.5 cups and add to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion into slivers and measure out 1/4 cup. Add the onion to the bowl with the pineapple and cucumber.
Chop the cilantro leaves and measure 1/4 cup. Add the cilantro to the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the pineapple and cucumber mixture. Toss the salad gently to evenly coat the ingredients with the dressing.
Let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
