Preparation
- 1
Cutting the Pineapple
Begin by placing the whole fresh pineapple upright on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice off the top and bottom ends to create a stable base.

Removing the Skin
Stand the pineapple upright and carefully slice down the sides, following the contour of the fruit to remove the skin. Ensure you remove any 'eyes' (brown spots) left on the flesh.

Cutting into Pieces
Once peeled, cut the pineapple into quarters lengthwise, and then slice each quarter into bite-sized pieces or wedges.

Garnishing (Optional)
If desired, sprinkle chili powder and a pinch of salt over the pineapple salad for an added flavor kick. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
