Salad Ingredients
- 1 ripe pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 English cucumber, seeded and cut into half moon pieces
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeno, seeds removed and diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 red bell pepper, seeds removed and diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup sweet Asian chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, sweet Asian chili sauce, maple syrup, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated, forming a smooth and balanced dressing.
- Mix the salad: In a large mixing bowl, add pineapple chunks, fresh blueberries, sliced radishes, cucumber, red onion, diced avocado, diced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and chopped green onions. Gently toss to combine the fresh ingredients evenly.
- Add the dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the mixed salad ingredients. Carefully toss again to ensure every piece of the salad is evenly coated with the flavorful dressing.
- Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss lightly once more to distribute the seasoning throughout the salad.
- Chill: Cover the salad and place it in the refrigerator. Chill for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to serve refreshingly cold.
Notes
- For extra heat, you can leave some jalapeno seeds in or add more jalapeno.
- This salad is best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal freshness, especially because of the avocado.
- Feel free to substitute the sweet Asian chili sauce with your favorite sweet and spicy dressing if unavailable.
- To keep the avocado from browning, toss it in a little lime juice before adding to the salad.
- Serve chilled for the best refreshing taste.
