  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium ripe pineapple, diced
  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the pineapple into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the cucumbers and finely chop the red onion. Wash and chop the mint leaves. Prepare the dressing by squeezing fresh lime juice into a small bowl, then whisking in honey and salt until well combined.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, cucumber slices, red onion, and mint. Drizzle the lime-honey dressing over the salad, then gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled in bowls or as a topping for grilled dishes. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

  • For added flavor, incorporate chopped fresh basil or cilantro.
  • You can add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Make sure to toss well before serving to evenly distribute the dressing.
