That's what Thatboy told me the other night. And it's true. I've been getting a little creative with our salads and dressings.
With the leftover pineapple from the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich, I decided to make a tropical fruit salad. Some pineapple, some mango, some coconut - all in a sweet pineapple dressing.
Serve this with something easy - like rice and chicken to jazz up the meal. Or use it to complement something like tacos or terriyaki. I warn you that it is VERY sweet - which makes it a very nice dessert too. (Even though Thatboy thinks fruit isn't a real dessert.)
It also works well for breakfast, mixed in with yogurt or cottage cheese. Fruit is ever so versatile.
Tropical Fruit Salad
1/2 cup of honey
2 Tbsp crushed pineapple
1/4 cup lemon juice
salt
1/3 cup pineapple chunks
1/2 avocado, sliced
1/3 cup mango slices
2 Tbsp grated coconut
- Combine honey, pineapple, and lemon juice in a jar. Put lid on and shake, shake, shake, senora. Add as much salt as you'd like and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Combine pineapple, avocado, mango, and coconut.
- Dress with dressing when ready to serve.
After 3 days of pigging out in Portland, I could use some refreshing salads! Loving pineapple these days too. Something about pregnancy and citrus/tang seems to go together.
ReplyDeleteSalad for dessert...I like the way you think! Especially when it involves mango and pineapple...swoon.
