Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced or chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: red chili flakes for a spicy kick
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by peeling and dicing the pineapple, slicing the cucumber, and chopping the red onion and cilantro.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Add red chili flakes if desired for extra spice.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pineapple chunks, cucumber slices, red onion, and cilantro. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes for more intense flavors. Enjoy as a fresh side dish or light snack.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. For longer storage, add the dressing just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- If using canned pineapple, drain thoroughly to prevent excess moisture. Fresh pineapple enhances flavor but canned is a quick alternative.
- You can substitute honey with agave syrup, maple syrup, or coconut sugar based on dietary preferences.
