PINEAPPLE SALAD
This refreshing salad has a mildly tangy dressing that would complement most any entree. After enjoying a similar salad at a restaurant, I tried to re-create it at home. Adding sliced grilled chicken makes it a meal in itself.-Vickie Madrigal, Shreveport, Louisiana

GRILLED PINEAPPLE
These are SO easy and really good. The hot sauce gives it an extra kick and cuts the sweetness. They can help with patience while the rest of the grilled feast comes together, but be warned, they go quickly!

SPICY WATERMELON SALAD WITH PINEAPPLE AND LIME
Refreshing, sweet and spicy, this salad is the edible equivalent of a crisp beer on a hot summer's day. It pushes the watermelon-feta-mint combination to new heights with a Mexican-inspired flavor profile of lime, jalapeño and cilantro. It's also easy to prepare, requiring little more than a knife, a bowl and a whisk. Enjoy it as soon as it's assembled, as the salty dressing draws the juice out of the fruit fairly quickly and the salad can lose its fresh crunch. A sprinkle of Tajín, a chile-lime Mexican spice blend, is optional, but adds a touch of smoke.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together oil, vinegar, lime zest and juice, honey and jalapeño. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add the red onion and toss to coat. Let marinate, 10 minutes.
- While the onions marinate, chop the watermelon and the pineapple into 1-inch cubes, discarding any seeds. Add watermelon and pineapple to the vinaigrette and toss to coat; season to taste. Refrigerate until serving.
- When ready to serve, add feta and herbs to salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Tajin, if using, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapple: A ripe pineapple will be fragrant and have a golden yellow color. Avoid pineapples that are green or have brown spots.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the pineapple and onion into thin slices.
- Marinate the pineapple: Marinating the pineapple in a mixture of lime juice, honey, and spices will enhance its flavor.
- Grill the pineapple and onion: Grill the pineapple and onion slices over medium heat until they are slightly charred and softened.
- Assemble the salad: Combine the grilled pineapple, onion, cilantro, and jalapeno in a bowl. Drizzle with the remaining marinade and toss to coat.
- Serve immediately: Grilled Pineapple and Onion Salad is best served immediately, while the pineapple is still warm and juicy.
