Recipe

Doorway to the Bay

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe pineapple
  • 2 limes
  • Pinch of flaky salt
  • Fresh mint leaves

Directions

  1. Cut the crown and base off the pineapple, then slice away the skin.
  2. Quarter it lengthwise and trim out the firm core.
  3. Cut each quarter into long spears and pile them in a shallow dish.
  4. Squeeze lime over the top, add a pinch of salt, and tuck in mint.
  5. Chill 20 minutes before serving.

Salt sounds odd and tastes wonderful — it makes the fruit read sweeter.
