  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe pineapple, peeled and cubed
  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Optional: chopped cilantro or chili flakes for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling the pineapple, removing the core, and cutting it into bite-sized cubes. Use a vegetable chopper for quick prep if desired.
  2. Thinly slice the cucumbers, and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, and salt to create the dressing.
  4. Combine pineapple cubes and cucumber slices in a large bowl. Pour dressing over and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
  5. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  6. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with more agave syrup or maple syrup.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh within 1-2 days to maintain crispness and flavor.
  • Add chopped cilantro or chili flakes for an extra spicy or herby kick.
