- 2 cups Pineapple, diced (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 Cucumber, sliced thinly
- 1/4 cup Red Onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped

- 1/4 teaspoon Salt, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions

2. In a large mixing bowl, add the diced pineapple, sliced cucumber, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Give the salad a final toss before serving. Enjoy this refreshing Pineapple Cucumber Salad chilled as a side dish for your next BBQ, picnic, or light meal.
Notes
Be sure to use the freshest, ripest pineapple you can find for maximum sweetness and flavor. Feel free to substitute canned pineapple if fresh is not available.
When it comes to the cucumber, opt for an English or Persian variety, as they have fewer seeds and a crispier texture.
This salad is a fantastic choice for a light, healthy meal or snack.
