Pro Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of chili powder or a drizzle of honey to the salad before serving.

Expert Tips for Success

– Use ripe, sweet pineapple for the best flavor. If your pineapple is slightly underripe, you can add a teaspoon of honey to enhance its sweetness.

– Make sure to remove any excess moisture from the cucumbers before adding them to the salad to prevent it from becoming too watery.

– For a more pronounced citrus flavor, you can zest the lime before juicing it and add the zest to the salad for an extra kick.
