Ingredients

Scale

Fruits and Vegetables

  • 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

Dressing

  • 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

  1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, sweet Asian chili sauce, maple syrup, soy sauce, and minced garlic until the dressing is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Mix the salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, fresh blueberries, thinly sliced radishes, cucumber half moons, red onion slices, diced avocado, diced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and green onions.
  3. Add the dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the mixed fruits and vegetables in the large bowl. Gently toss the salad until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, gently mixing again to distribute seasoning evenly.
  5. Chill: Place the salad in the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld together and serve cold.

Notes

  • For best flavor, chill the salad for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • You can adjust the jalapeno quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  • Keep the avocado diced and add it just before serving if you prefer to avoid browning.
  • This salad is naturally gluten-free but ensure soy sauce is gluten-free if needed.
  • For a vegan version, verify the sweet Asian chili sauce ingredients or substitute with another sweet chili sauce.
