Ingredients
  

For the Salad:

  • 1 pineapple peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 cucumber seeded and cut into half-moon shapes
  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and diced
  • 1 avocado peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped (optional, based on preference)

For the Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons 30 ml lime juice
  • ¼ cup 60 ml olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons 30 ml honey
  • ½ teaspoon 1 g red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon 5 ml white vinegar (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Salad Base: In a large salad bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, cucumber slices, red onion, jalapeño, avocado, red bell pepper, and cilantro.
  • Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, red pepper flakes, white vinegar, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  • Assemble the Salad: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Gently toss to coat everything evenly, being careful not to mash the avocado.
