Notes

Pineapple: Fresh-cut pineapple is best, but feel free to grab a container of precut pineapple for an even quicker recipe.

Let It Rest: 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 sits in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Cucumber: If using an English cucumber, the skin is thin enough to leave on, so there is no need to peel.
Lime: 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.

Storing: This recipe's shelf life is short, as the pineapple weeps and gets watery, so it truly is best the day you make it.
