Total time: 12 min • Prep: 12 min • Cook: 0 min • Serves: 6 • Difficulty: Easy

Juicy ripe pineapple is tossed with lime, ginger and fresh mint for a super light and refreshing dessert. Also makes a terrific starter. It's important to pick a fresh, ripe pineapple for the best flavor in this dish. Choose a pineapple that has a firm, brown skin and that's not too green. Smell the pineapple to be sure that it has a strong and fresh pineapple smell to it. To prepare the pineapple, use a long knife to slice the top off of the pineapple. Then remove the brown skin from around the rest of the pineapple. Once peeled, remove the pineapple core and cut the pineapple into slices.
