I love fresh fruits salad, that sweetness and citrusy juices of fruits give the salad a refreshing punch. Pear, Pineapple, Apple, Globe Grapes, and Mango are few of our favorite fruits that always make a delicious salad. Grilled Pineapple Salad has a tropical feel and flavor to it. The smokiness of charred pineapple is combined with the heat of bell pepper and creaminess of feta cheese dressing to create a summer-perfect salad.
The feta cheese dressing compliments the sweetness of Pineapple perfectly, and the crunchiness of vegetables make this salad hard to resist. Grilled Pineapple Salad is technically our weekday lunch. On a busy working day, we prefer meals that are light on the stomach and has a fulfilling nature as well. And Grilled Pineapple Salad fits these criteria very well.
During the summers season, we literally survive on salads and smoothies. And what could be the best way than salads to include plenty of seasonal fruits in the diet. But most of us struggle with the idea of how to add fruits to the daily diet. Apart from Grilled Pineapple Salad, Farm Fresh Pasta Salad, and Orange – Mixed Green Salad are favorite summer salad recipes. The best part about these salad recipes is they require minimum cook and advanced preparation. All you need to do is chopping and mixing. And of course, a cool salad bowl (buy it here) is a must have an item to serve the gorgeous looking salad in style.
