Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine pineapple, cucumber, jalapeño, and red onion.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
3. Pour the dressing over the fruit-vegetable mixture and stir until well coated.
4. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
5. Before serving, garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Use canned pineapple only if fresh is unavailable (drain well before using). Serve with grilled chicken, fish, or over a bed of greens for a more filling dish. Adjust spice level by using half a jalapeño or adding a pinch of cayenne.
