For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the pineapple before dicing it. The caramelized sweetness will elevate the salad to a whole new level. If you don't have fresh cilantro, a pinch of dried cilantro can be substituted. Alternatively, fresh mint or basil would also complement the flavors nicely. To mellow the bite of the red onion, soak the slices in ice water for 10 minutes before adding them to the salad. This salad is delicious on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu.
