CREAMY GINGERED PINEAPPLE SALAD DRESSING



Creamy Gingered Pineapple Salad Dressing image

A quick an easy salad dressing. This is wonderful over grilled pork or a green salad with fresh citrus; as well as grilled chicken and seafood. The pineapple juice is just from a can of sliced pineapple (unsweetened), and I will use the pineapple as a garnish, often grilling it. Fresh ginger and the honey dijon mustard really makes a difference in this dressing.

Categories     Sauces

Time 7m

Yield 1 1/4 cups salad dressing, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup pineapple juice, unsweetened
2 tablespoons honey dijon mustard (if you don't have honey dijon mustard, use 2 tablespoons dijon and 1/2 tablespoon honey)
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup pineapple juice

Steps:

  • Option -- You can use a mix of orange juice and pineapple rather than all pineapple if you think pineapple is too sweet. I happen to love it with the mustard and ginger. But you can mix the two if you prefer.
  • Dressing -- Just add all the ingredients and whisk well to combine. Chill at least 30 minutes.
  • Serve -- ENJOY! Serve over your favorite greens, pork, chicken, or seafood.

20 oz can crushed pineapple, drain, reserve juice
1/2 c of the reserved pineapple juice

14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, chilled (eagle brand)

Tips:

  • Prepare pineapple properly: Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple, then slice off the skin. Remove the core and cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces.
  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your salad. Choose creamy mayonnaise, tangy sour cream, and sweet, juicy pineapple.
  • Chill before serving: For the best flavor, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to become cold and refreshing.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Garnish the salad with fresh herbs like mint or cilantro for an extra pop of flavor and color.
