How to Make a Pineapple Cucumber Salad


Tips for Making Fresh Pineapple Cucumber Salad
- Fresh cut pineapple is best, but feel free to grab a container of precut pineapple for an even quicker recipe.
- I like the flavors to meld together, so you can eat this salad as soon as it’s made, but it’s even better if it gets to sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
- If using an English cucumber, the skin is thin enough to leave on, so no need to peel.
- Fresh is best when it comes to lime in my opinion. I like fresh lime for this recipe, but you can use the refrigerated jar variety if that’s what you have on hand.
