# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • No cooking required means you can pull this together in fifteen minutes flat without heating up your kitchen
  • The sweet and tangy flavor combination wakes up your palate like nothing else
  • It keeps beautifully for days, making it perfect for meal prep or unexpected guests
02 -
  • The salt in the dressing will draw out some moisture from the cucumber and pineapple, creating its own delicious juices
  • This salad actually tastes better after a few hours in the refrigerator
  • If making ahead, add the cilantro right before serving so it stays fresh and vibrant
03 -
  • Use a very sharp knife when dicing the pineapple to maintain its juicy texture
  • If your pineapple isn't quite ripe, add an extra half-teaspoon of honey
