Ingredients

1/2 fresh pineapple
2 tablespoons fresh mint (shredded)
1/2 English cucumber

Steps:

1. Cut Pineapple and Cucumber according to preference (I recommend pineapple chunks and cucumber slices myself). 2. Shred the mint. 3. Combine in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour prior to serving - this allows the flavors to combine.
