Ingredients

Scale

For the Salad:

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, diced

  • 1 large English cucumber, diced (or 2 Persian cucumbers)

  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

For the Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Dice the pineapple and cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion and jalapeño. Chop the cilantro. Crumble the feta if using.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth.

  • In a large bowl, combine pineapple, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Pour the dressing over the salad.

  • Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly without crushing the fruit.

  • Sprinkle crumbled feta on top if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15–30 minutes before serving for enhanced flavor. Garnish with extra cilantro or a splash of lime juice.

Notes

  • Adjust spice levels by adding or omitting jalapeño and red pepper flakes.

  • For a vegan version, use maple syrup and skip the feta or use a plant-based alternative.

  • Fresh ingredients give the best flavor and texture.
