I love that a summer cookout can be full of the classic dishes — burgers, steaks, potato salad, mac and cheese.
But I also love the unexpected. You know what I’m talking about. Flavor combos that you wouldn’t put together, don’t always sound good, but then — and this is my favorite part — it turns out delicious.
That’s what this salad is. And, not only is it unexpected, but it’s super easy to make.
You can do this one of two ways. My way is to cut up your bell peppers and pineapple, lay a big piece of foil on the grill, drizzle with avocado oil and salt and grill at high heat. Or you can grill both whole, let cool a bit and chop. Either works.
At the end, a splash of lime juice adds a welcome depth and acidity. Make this at your next cookout and watch it disappear.
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced pineapple

easy-peasy….and delicious, perfect for summer and grilled fish….thanks for reminding me of the ease and taste of fresh summer produce…now if only I could figure out how to grow my own pineapples ?
Any suggestions to adapt this for indoor cooking, i.e., no grill?
You can also spread on a sheet pan and roast in the oven at 400 degrees, until browned.
