Recipe: Pineapple Salad

Pineapple Salad with berries, coconut, fresh mint, with  a drizzle of honey and some fresh orange juice makes a refreshing summery dessert salad. Enjoy it on its own or with some vanilla ice cream. That is what we did, enjoyed the salad with some Coaticook Vanilla Ice Cream. It is the best vanilla ice cream I’ve had so far.

Sharing Pineapple Salad Recipe With 2025 Alphabet Challenge Group

We’re on letter P for the alphabet challenge initiated by Wendy. I was battling between pineapple and potato salads for this letter. Finally decided on pineapple as the one I bought was really sweet. Then the decision was between a sweet and savoury salad. The sweet one won as I thought I need to have one sweet salad recipe for the theme I chose this year – salads.For letter P quite a few options. Pineapple, persimmon, parsley, potato, peas, pears, plums, pork, poppy seeds, pepper, paneer, pumpkin, etc.

P is for pineapple.
