Pina-licious Salad



I was intending to eat the whole salad on my own, but my mom decided/assumed that I was sharing so she made a pretty big dent into this bowl. Note my wooden bowls! I think they make everything look so yummy and earthy, well earthy without the taste of dirt. ahaha

In the mix:
Mango
Pineapple
Tomato
Onion
Cucumbers
Bell pepper
Cilantro and 
Lime

The trick for this salad is the pineapple. Most pineapples sold at the market are not ripe. You have to pick one that is very yellow and "smelly". The fragrant pineapples (and papayas....future reference) are the best and ripest. Sometimes you think that they are rotten, but they are actually the sweetest because that is when all the fructose is starting to break down.
