  1. Slice the English cucumbers into 1/2-inch thick half-moons. Dice the fresh pineapple into 1-inch chunks. Place both into a large bowl.
  2. Add the thinly sliced red onion slivers, jalapeno rounds, and chopped cilantro to the cucumber and pineapple mixture.
  3. Whisk lime juice, oil, and salt together. Pour over the salad and toss gently to coat.
