Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Brush 4 pineapple rings lightly with olive oil and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and pineapple caramelizes.
Step 2: Remove the pineapple from the grill and cut each ring into quarters.
Step 3: In a large salad bowl, combine 4 cups mixed salad greens, 1 cup sliced heart of palm, 1/4 thinly sliced red onion, and grilled pineapple pieces.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until emulsified.
Step 5: Pour the lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Step 6: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro on top before serving for a bright herbal note.
