Who knows where the idea came from to put cucumber and pineapple in the same bowl. It’s sort of a strange combination, but we’re really glad we discovered it.
Both ingredients are light and hydrating, making this a simple summer salad both your taste buds and your body will love.
It looks particularly pretty on a plate alongside grilled fish or fish tacos.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pineapple, chopped
- 1 cucumber, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
DIRECTIONS
- Combine pineapple and cucumber into a large bowl.
- Mix in fresh lime juice.
- Sprinkle mint over, and toss to combine.
WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
You can throw this simple, four-ingredient salad together in just a couple of minutes, but its zesty, tropical flavor suggests a much more sophisticated chef. And its nutrient profile is perfect for beach weather, too: cucumbers are super hydrating, and pineapple banishes bloating.
