Begin by cutting 2 cups of fresh pineapple into bite-sized pieces, then slice 1 medium cucumber thinly. Next, finely slice 1 small red onion. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced pineapple, cucumber slices, and red onion.

In a small bowl, take 1 teaspoon of chili powder and add the juice of 1 fresh lime, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined.

Pour the zesty dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss the ingredients together until well coated.

Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Just before serving, optionally sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro or mint on top for an aromatic finish.
