The tough core out of the center of the pineapple rounds, cut the rest into 2” chunks.  Place everything in a large bowl and refrigerate to cool.

Just before serving, drain any accumulated juice from the bowl and add the feta (reserved a couple of tablespoons to garnish the top), basil, and mint.

Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.  Pour over the salad and toss everything to combine.
