  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 pineapple, chopped
  • 1 English cucumber, chopped
  • 2 limes, zested and juiced
  • ⅓ cup cilantro, roughly chopped
  • Salt and pepper, optional

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the chopped pineapple, chopped cucumber, lime zest, lime juice, and roughly chopped cilantro. Toss all the ingredients lightly to evenly distribute the lime juice and zest throughout the salad.
  2. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste if desired, mixing gently to incorporate the seasoning.
  3. Serve or Chill: Serve the salad immediately or cover and keep chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve for a refreshing, cool dish.

Notes

  • For a spicier twist, add a pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeño.
  • To keep the cucumber crisp, avoid salting it too early as it can draw out water and make the salad watery.
  • This salad pairs well with grilled meats or seafood as a fresh side dish.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Chilling the salad for 15-20 minutes helps the flavors meld together nicely.
