CUCUMBER SALAD WITH PINEAPPLE AND JALAPENO

Cucumber Salad with Pineapple and Jalapeno image

This is my favorite cucumber salad. It's really refreshing served with a spicy entree. I do cut back to about 1/2 cup sugar and like to use black sesame seeds to give it another dash of color. From the RSVP section of Bon Appetit magazine.
