Start by prepping the pineapple. Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, stand it upright, and slice away the skin. Remove the eyes, then cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks.
Place the pineapple chunks into a large mixing bowl.
Zest one of the limes using a fine grater and add the zest to the bowl of pineapple.
Juice both limes and pour the lime juice over the pineapple chunks.
Drizzle the honey over the pineapple and toss gently to coat evenly.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them into the salad. Toss lightly to combine.
Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors and mix gently.
If desired, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for added tropical flavor and texture.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold and enjoy your Pineapple Lime Salad as a refreshing side dish or light dessert!
