If you ask for a salad in Sri Lanka, most probably you will get this one. When you see strange light circles in the video recipe, it is not hallucination, it is my headlamp, which I had to use to strengthen the poor kitchen light in the evening.

Process

Peel cucumbers first and dice them. Peel pineapple, cut on quarters, remove the hard middle part (you can eat it or give to ants ;) ), dice the soft part. Chop tomatoes on small pieces. After certain while (15 mins), squeeze gently the cucumber pieces to remove some juice of it. You can drink the juice, will not be used for the salad. Mix it wit pinnaple and tomatoes without the juice that came out of them, add lime squash, salt and pepper. If you like it more spicy, add fine chopped red onion and chilli flakes.
