Tropical Vegetable Salad
Tropical Vegetable Salad is loaded with vegetables and the added Pineapple makes the salad a hit, especially with kids – savory-sweet crunchy delicious!
I did mention that I am going to share more salads from now on and will start with this scrumptious Tropical Vegetable Salad !
We eat loads of salads, especially during Spring and Summer, but salads are so versatile as a side dish during the colder months as well.
Usually, when I make comfort food, it is rich enough to be served on it’s own. Think stew on a bed of rice, meatballs with mashed potatoes and so on.
That is where a salad is perfect as a side, not as rich as a normal side dish, just a something extra.
I am sharing a recipe with you today which is full of vegetables, but with a delicious tropical taste – pineapple!
We have enjoyed this salad for many years, unchanged, which I found in the Eenskotteltreffers recipe book.
This is one recipe, which I feel is just right, no need to change, so we have it as is straight from the book.
I have also found that kids would rather eat their vegetables served s a salad, and this Tropical Vegetable Salad is always a hit with them.
Any leftovers ? Enjoy the salad for lunch the next day, either on it’s own, or with a roasted piece of chicken. Even deli meats go well with leftover salad.
*Perfect for dieters ! Simply use Pineapple in Natural Juice and a Light Mayonnaise*

We love salads! Unfortunately, my husband won't eat anything with peas. Peas and butternut squash are the ONLY things he won't eat.
Thanks for sharing at Tuesdays with a Twist. Hope to see you again this week!

Linda, this is the most interesting salad I've ever heard of. Unusual combination of ingredients, but I like them all. I am the adventurous type so I should try it, shouldn't I? Looks very pretty, too.
