Apple Cider Vinegar: Promotes gut microbiome health, improves metabolic response, and aids natural digestion.
Cilantro & Parsley: Rich in antioxidant flavonoids and vitamins that help protect cells and reduce oxidative stress.
Ingredients
1 cucumber, sliced thin
1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or canned
¼ red onion, diced small
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp honey or sugar
Pinch of salt and black pepper
Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Prepare the Vegetables & Fruit: Thinly slice the cucumber, dice the red onion small, chop the fresh cilantro or parsley, and prepare your pineapple chunks.
2. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl or directly inside a clean mason jar, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey (or sugar), a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced cucumbers, pineapple chunks, and diced red onion into the jar with the dressing.
4. Toss & Marinate: Sprinkle the chopped cilantro or parsley on top. Seal the jar with a lid and shake gently, or toss everything well in a bowl.
5. Chill & Serve: Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and pickle slightly before serving!
