Instructions
- Prepare garlic and ginger. Place both in a small bowl. Add vinegar, teriyaki, honey and sesame oil. Whisk in vegetable oil. Store, covered, or pour into a jar and seal. Dressing will keep well, refrigerated, up to 1 week. Shake before using. Slice unpeeled cucumber in half lengthwise. Cut into chunks. Core, then cut pineapple into similar-sized chunks.
