1/2 seedless English cucumber (often plastic wrapped), halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise
1/2 pineapple, peeled, quartered lengthwise, cored then sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick (2 cups)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
2 medium tomatoes (1 lb. total), cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges

Mince garlic, then mash to a paste with salt using side of a large heavy knife.


2) Mince jalapeno pepper into container and then set aside.


3) Whisk together lime juice and sugar in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved, then whisk in oil, garlic paste, chile and fish sauce (to taste).
