This light, super-refreshing salad will be a welcome addition to summer meals. It tastes best when made just before serving.

• 1 1/4 cup(s) pineapple, fresh, cut into chunks
• 1 cup(s) jicama, cut into short thin sticks
• 1/3 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup(s) sweet red pepper(s), very thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup(s) scallion(s), sliced

Notes
If you want to grill fresh chicken for this recipe, heat an outdoor grill or stove-top grill pan. Coat two 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts with cooking spray and sprinkle them with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Grill, turning once, until cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before cutting into chunks.

Black beans would make a tasty addition to this recipe (could affect PointsPlus values).
