This vibrant salad combines the sweetness of grilled pineapple with the freshness of mint and a zesty citrus dressing.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Slice the pineapple into rings and the red onion into thick slices.
Cut the pineapple and onion into even slices for uniform grilling.
Brush the pineapple and onion slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Use a light hand when seasoning to let the natural flavors shine.
Grill the pineapple rings for about 4-5 minutes per side until caramelized and grill marks appear.
Don't move the pineapple too much to achieve distinct grill marks.
Grill the onion slices until softened and slightly charred.
Turn the onion slices carefully to keep them intact.
Cut the grilled pineapple into bite-sized pieces and chop the grilled onion.
Allow the grilled ingredients to cool slightly before chopping.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple, onion, lemon juice and zest, and mint leaves.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid bruising the mint leaves.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Taste the salad before adding more seasoning.
Serve the salad immediately or chill for 10 minutes before serving.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
