Preparation Steps

Start by peeling, coring, and cutting the ripe pineapple into bite-sized pieces, placing them in a large mixing bowl.
Next, peel the cucumber and slice it thinly; add it to the bowl alongside the pineapple.
Thinly slice the red onion and incorporate it into the mix, creating a colorful base for your Pineapple Cucumber Salad.
In the same large mixing bowl, gently fold in the finely chopped mint and cilantro with the pineapple, cucumber, and red onion.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, and olive oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the freshly made dressing over the colorful fruit and vegetable mixture in the large bowl.
Take a moment to season your Pineapple Cucumber Salad with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the salad mixture with plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
Before serving, give the salad a final gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients.
For an extra touch of freshness, garnish the salad with additional mint or cilantro leaves.

Notes

Serve the salad cold and enjoy fresh for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container. Avoid freezing for best texture.
