2 tablespoons lime juice (1 lime)
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
- Combine the pineapple with all the salad ingredients into a large serving bowl.
- Combine all the salad dressing ingredients into a separate small mixing bowl.

Cooking Tip
If you do not plan to eat all the salad in one meal, only add dressing to the amount you plan to eat right away. Store the balance of the salad and dressing separately. In this way the salad will keep refrigerated for 3 to 5 days.
