Pineapple-Cheese Salad image

I have no idea of the origin of this recipe. I know that my sister and I are the fourth generation (at least) to make this recipe. I warn you: it is an acquired taste, but it goes great with anything. To me, when I think of northern central Louisiana cuisine/southern food, this is the "salad" I think of.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 head iceberg lettuce
1/2 cup cheddar cheese (the sharper, the better...but don't use white...it won't be the same)

15 ounces pineapple rings, drained

Steps:

  • Assemble the salad as follows:.
  • Place 2-3 (or more) lettuce leaves on a small salad plate.

I made this salad for my husband and he loved it! He said it was the best salad he's ever had. I'm not sure if he was just being nice, but I'm taking it as a compliment!

This salad was okay. It wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad either. I thought the pineapple and cheese were a good combination, but I didn't love the pecans. I think this salad would be better with a different nut, like walnuts or almonds.

I wasn't a big fan of this salad. I found the pineapple to be too sweet and the cheese to be too bland. I also didn't like the texture of the pecans. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this salad.

This salad is a must-try for anyone who loves pineapple and cheese. It's the perfect summer side dish and it's also great for potlucks and parties. I highly recommend it!

To make this salad even more special, I like to use a variety of cheeses. I'll use a sharp cheddar, a mild cheddar, and a Monterey Jack. The different cheeses give the salad a more complex flavor.

Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh pineapple? I don't always have fresh pineapple on hand, so I'm wondering if canned pineapple would work just as well.

I added some shredded chicken to this salad and it was delicious! It made it a more complete meal and it was perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. I highly recommend trying this variation.

This salad turned out even better than I expected! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the salad was so refreshing. I served it at a party and it was a huge hit. I'll definitely be making this salad again soon.

I'm not usually a fan of pineapple in savory dishes, but this salad changed my mind. The pineapple and cheese are a perfect combination, and the pecans add a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this salad again.

5 stars! This salad is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love the sweet and tangy flavor of the pineapple and the creaminess of the cheese. It's the perfect side dish for any summer party.

Pineapple Cheese Salad is a classic for a reason! It's sweet, tangy, and creamy, and the perfect side dish for any summer gathering. I made it for my family last weekend and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the combination of pineapple, cheese, and
