I just made this and it is sooo delicious. It is a perfect summer salad with delicious shrimp, a fantastic dressing, and juicy pineapple. Enjoy! I have modified this from a recipe in a Dutch magazine called "libelle", No. 29, 2004.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it the night before and it will still be delicious the next day.
