Instructions

1. Combine the Base: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the diced pineapple, sliced cucumbers, red onion, and chopped cilantro.

2. Add Dressing & Season: Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the salad. Season with a pinch of salt and a crack of black pepper. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

3. Chill and Marinate: For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

4. Serve: Give the salad one final toss before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled.
