Ingredients
    For the salad
  • 2 Pineapple (in washers, fresh or canned)
  • 1/2 Avocado (slices)
  • 4 cups Green Salad
  • 1/2 Cucumber (cut like tagliatelle with a piler)
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Seed
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Hippophae (or blonde raisins)
  • 3-4 Cherry Tomatoes (to garnish)
    • For the dressing
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Honey (or agave or maple syrup)
  • 4 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoons Sweet Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon White Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • Pepper
Instructions

  1. Wash the vegetables and peel the pineapple and the cucumber.

  2. Collect the rest of the ingredients for the salad and the dressing.

  3. Assemble the salad, garnish as shown in the picture, or in your own way and while on this stage you can cover it with a cooking membrane and save it in the fridge for about 2-3 hours before serving.

  4. Then start prepping the dressing. Put all of your ingredients in a bowl and mix them well with a fork or multi. If you want it to be less dense, just add a couple spoons of water. Taste it and add ingredients depending on your preference.

Notes
  • If you use canned pineapple, you could also use a couple of spoons of its juice for the dressing. 
  • This salad has great nutritional value and you can also enjoy it while being on a diet. Also by replacing honey with agave or maple syrup you have now got yourself a completely vegan version.
  • Drizzle lemon juice on the avocado so that it doesn't turn brown.

A perfect idea for your summer on the porch menus.
