PINEAPPLE CUCUMBER SALAD

There is something about summer that has me craving fresh, flavorful salads like no other time of year.  There is such a bounty of fruits and vegetables readily available during this time and I want to enjoy each and every one.

This particular salad is one of my favorites – especially for summer.  I took my favorite pineapple salsa recipe, turned down the heat, made the cucumber and pineapple pieces larger and voila – the most refreshing, flavorful salad EVER.

I absolutely adore how the bright yellow of the pineapple contrasts so beautifully with the deep, dark green of the cucumber, cilantro, and lime zest.  These pictures really do not do it justice.

This pineapple salad is the perfect addition to any sort of bbq or cookout you have planned.  It’s also great for those of us who don’t have a lot of time and are craving those fresh, sweet flavors of summer. Enjoy!
