PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE SALAD

My first taste of this was at a covered dish. Ohhh, how I remember that surprisingly delicious taste! I am thankful that the lady shared her recipe with me. It has become a family favorite. Whenever I carry it to a covered dish everyone asks for this recipe. Sometimes I use it as a gelatin salad and other times, as a desert. It is great served with angel food cake. I hope you try this quick easy dish and enjoy it.

PINEAPPLE-CHEESE SALAD



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.

Categories     Pineapple

Time 5m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

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)
4 tablespoons mayonnaise (lite, low-fat, fat free, or full on fat is okay)
15 ounces pineapple rings, drained

Steps:

  • Assemble the salad as follows:.
  • Place 2-3 (or more) lettuce leaves on a small salad plate.
  • Top with pineapple rings (1-2 per person).
  • Fill the "hole" in the pineapple ring with a 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon mayonnaise.
  • Sprinkle with cheese to "hide" mayo.

Tips:

  • If you don't have any cream cheese on hand, you can substitute Neufchâtel cheese or mascarpone cheese.
  • Add a cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds, for a crunchy texture.
  • For a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon of honey or sugar to the dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
