Instructions

Cut fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks.
Slice cucumber into thin rounds, then cut into half-moons.
Thinly slice red onion; soak in cold water for a few minutes if desired to mellow flavor.
Roughly chop fresh mint leaves.
In a large bowl, combine pineapple, cucumber, red onion, and mint.
Add fresh lime juice and gently toss to combine.
Chill salad in refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.

Notes

Add fresh mint and lime juice just before serving to keep flavors vibrant. Avoid letting cucumbers sit too long in dressing to maintain crispness. For variations, add chili flakes for heat or substitute fruits like mango or watermelon.
