Gather all ingredients: Dice 2 cups of fresh pineapple, thinly slice 1 large cucumber, and finely slice 1/4 of a red onion. Soak onion in cold water for 10 minutes if desired.

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced pineapple, sliced cucumber, and soaked red onion. Fold the ingredients together to ensure even distribution.

In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), and salt until well combined and smooth.

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly.

Let the salad sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Garnish with chopped cilantro or mint leaves before serving and enjoy!
