Summer Salad


           If you are looking for a refreshing summer salad, I want to tell you about my Pineapple Salad.  It’s a combination of the fruits pineapple and apple along with toasted walnuts.
                                                                     
 Pineapple Salad
Ingredients
1 Cored Fresh Pineapple cut into small chunks (Save the juice)
2 Firm Apples cored and diced
Note: I prefer Braeburn Apples for their tartness which makes a good contrast to the sweet pineapple.
1 cup Toasted Walnuts chopped
1 tsp Mayonnaise
1.       Put pineapple juice and mayonnaise into a small bowl and blend together to create a dressing.
2.       Place the rest of the ingredients into a large bowl and coat with the pineapple juice and mayo dressing.
Note: If you find you would like the salad creamier add one or two more teaspoons of mayonnaise and mix it in.
3.       Chill for one hour and serve.

This is a great dish to take to your next pot luck dinner.
