PINEAPPLE & CUCUMBER SALAD



Pineapple & Cucumber Salad image

Enjoy this sweet, refreshing salad alongside grilled meat or fish to cut through the richness and refresh the palate. If you like a little heat, adding jalapeño will give you the kick you crave. While packs of prechopped pineapple are convenient, they're almost always more expensive. When pineapple is in season, it's best to buy fresh and chop it yourself. Look for a pineapple with a golden-yellow exterior, which is a good indicator of ripeness.

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH PINEAPPLE AND JALAPENO



Cucumber Salad With Pineapple and Jalapeno image

This is my favorite cucumber salad. It's really refreshing served with a spicy entree. I do cut back to about 1/2 cup sugar and like to use black sesame seeds to give it another dash of color. From the RSVP section of Bon Appetit magazine.

  • Let the salad chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and make the salad even more delicious.

Conclusion:
