Step-by-Step Instructions for Pineapple Cucumber Salad
- Begin by dicing 2 cups of fresh pineapple into bite-sized pieces and slicing 1 English cucumber into thin rounds. Next, finely chop ¼ cup of red onion and mince 1 jalapeño, adjusting the heat to your liking by removing seeds. Finally, chop a handful of fresh cilantro for that bright flavor. Combine all these ingredients in a large mixing bowl for your Pineapple Cucumber Salad.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 2 fresh limes, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of honey or agave nectar. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Continue whisking until the ingredients are well combined, creating a light, zesty dressing that will beautifully enhance your salad. Set it aside momentarily as you prepare to bring your salad together.
- Once your salad ingredients are perfectly combined and your dressing is ready, pour the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together using salad tongs or a large spoon until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- To allow the flavors to meld wonderfully, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. Once chilled, your tasty Pineapple Cucumber Salad is ready to be served alongside your favorite grilled dishes!
