Ingredients
Scale
- 1 fresh pineapple, peeled and cubed
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the pineapple by peeling, coring, and cutting into bite-sized cubes.
- Dice the avocado and chop the cilantro.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt and pepper to make the dressing.

Notes
