Tropical Gold Pineapple and Mint Salad

This dish is fresh, juicy and crunchy too. Help Mum out by making this as a side salad for dinner or lunch.

Ingredients

  •  Dole Tropical Gold pineapple
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 12 fresh mint leaves
  • lettuce leaves for lining the bowl or plate
  • 3 tbsp olive or salad oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tbsp maple syrup
  • a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Method

  1. Peel and core the Tropical Gold pineapple.
  2. Cut into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl.
  3. Peel a medium-sized red onion and cut in half lengthwise. Place the flat side on a board and thinly slice the onion discarding the bottom piece.
  4. Add the sliced onion to the pineapple.
  5. Wash and dry the mint leaves, slice them into thin pieces, and add to the pineapple and onions.
  6. Put the olive oil, lemon juice, syrup, and salt and pepper into a jar with a tight fitting lid and shake them together.
  7. Arrange the lettuce leaves in a serving bowl. Just before you are ready to eat, pour the liquid in the jar onto the pineapple, onion, and mint mixture and mix it all together.
  8. Now put the mixture into the bowl lined with the lettuce leaves and you're ready to serve!
