Tips:

  • Choose ripe and sweet pineapple: Using ripe pineapple will ensure a sweeter and more flavorful salad.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tarter flavor than dried cranberries, which will give the salad a nice balance of flavors.
  • Do not overmix the salad: Overmixing will break down the cranberries and make the salad mushy. Gently stir the ingredients until just combined.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Garnish with mint or chopped nuts: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
