Begin by washing and slicing your fresh cucumber into thin rounds. Dice the ripe pineapple into bite-sized pieces and finely slice the red onion. Soak the red onion in cold water for 5 minutes if desired. Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate small bowl, combine ½ teaspoon of chili powder, the juice of one fresh lime, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Whisk these ingredients together for about 30 seconds until smooth.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl and toss gently to coat every piece well.

Let the salad rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Before serving, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro or mint over the top. Serve in a wide, shallow bowl and enjoy!
