I am always looking for a "fiesta" side to serve with Mexican dishes that sometimes can be heavy in sauce and cheese. This was great. I did go easy on the onion based on the reviews I read. Will definitely make again!

I agree with others that the pineapple and cucumber are refreshing.. however the onion was over-bearing... Not sure I'll make again... but went nicely with Mexican Lasagne.

This is one of my husband's favorite salads; he asks for it at least once a month. The combination of the cucumber and pineapple is so refreshing with a summer dinner! I put the celery, red onion and red pepper into the food processor and just pulse them until they're the consistancy I want, and I use whole cherry tomatoes to avoid them making the salad soggy the next day.
I always make the entire emount, even though there are only the two of us; it makes a terrific lunch or even snack on the following days!
