Pineapple Cucumber Salad

Sometimes the best things are just plain easy. For a fast and tasty side dish during the summer heat, try an easy Pineapple Cucumber Salad. It works well with a cookout or a sit-down dinner. Spend 5 to 10 minutes to throw it together. Chill it.  Then devour it.

This makes a great lunch or snack too. Yum!  Halve the cucumber lengthwise and slice. Dice the pineapple in cubes. Add cilantro and lime juice with zest. Easy peasy. (If you don’t like to cut up a pineapple, buy it sliced at the grocery store and just cut in smaller pieces.)  Hate cilantro? Drop it and substitute fresh mint for a great flavor.

  1. That sounds refreshing and good. I never thought to mix those two. I’ve made a cucumber salad with thin slices of onion, cucumber and white vinegar. I also make smoothies with cucumber and different melons.

    1. I know I ususally mix cucumbers with tomatoes or in a marinade with onion like you said. This recipe is fun and different plus I love pineapple!

  2. This looks really delicious. I do like cilantro but I think I’d like the mint even more. Hard to say but this one really looks like a winner and very refreshing for summer!

  3. Oh that sounds really nice Carol. I bet it is really refreshing. I make a fruity salsa using mango and salad, it tastes amazing!

    Thanks for sharing with #MMBC. Have a lovely weekend. 🙂

  4. This is wonderful. I’m into pineapples right now so this is great. Pinned also. Best wishes for the week ahead. Coming from Thursday Favorite Things Party. Linda @Crafts a la mode
