Begin by dicing 2 cups of fresh pineapple and thinly slicing 1 medium cucumber. If using red onion, finely slice about half of one onion. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, cucumber slices, and red onion, gently tossing to ensure an even distribution.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of chili powder, the juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons of honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss until evenly coated.

Cover the bowl and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Chop a handful of fresh cilantro or mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad before serving.
