Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro. Add them to the bowl as well.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the pineapple and vegetable mixture and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.
