Instructions
Creating your own Pineapple Cucumber Salad is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing all fresh produce thoroughly. Peel and dice the cucumber and pineapple, and chop the bell pepper and red onion.
2. Combine Fruits and Vegetables: In a large salad bowl, combine the diced pineapple, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion. Stir gently to mix.
3. Add Fresh Herbs: Chop the fresh mint and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients. The mint will add a refreshing aroma.
4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey (if using) until well combined.
5. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
6. Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper according to your preference, and mix again.
7. Chill: Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step is optional but enhances the flavors significantly.
8. Serve: After chilling, give the salad a final stir before transferring it to a serving dish.
