Paired with the subtle sharpness of onion and the zing of lime juice, it’s a refreshing dish perfect for any occasion. The blend of simple, fresh ingredients ensures a burst of flavor in every bite.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the onion into rings.
- Place the sliced onion in a small bowl and cover with 1 cup of water. Let it soak for about 10 minutes to mellow out the sharpness. After soaking, drain and set aside.
- Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand it upright and carefully slice off the skin, removing any remaining eyes.
- Cut the pineapple into quarters lengthwise, remove the core from each quarter, and then chop the pineapple into bite-sized pieces. If you want grill the pineapple until golden grill marks appear and the fruit softens.
- Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
- Scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl using a spoon, and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- In the large mixing bowl with the avocado, add the chopped pineapple and drained onion.
- Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over the mixed ingredients.
- Season with salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Gently toss everything together until well combined, being careful not to mash the avocados.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately.
Tips:
- Dice the onion and soak it in 1 cup of water for 10 minutes to reduce its sharpness and make it milder.
- Choose ripe avocados by gently pressing them to check for slight softness, which indicates readiness for consumption.
- To cut a pineapple, slice off the top and bottom, then stand it upright and carefully cut away the peel, following the curve of the fruit.
- Toss the ingredients gently to retain the chunks of avocado and pineapple without mashing them.
- Let the salad sit for a few minutes after tossing to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Enjoy your fresh pineapple & avocado salad as a vibrant side dish or a light, nutritious main course. The unique combination of flavors and textures makes this salad both satisfying and refreshing, perfect for a summer day or any time you crave something fresh and delicious.
