PINEAPPLE WALDORF SALAD
"This pretty salad is a staple at my house. I've shared the recipe with any satisfied guests," pens Lois Kenneberg, Phoenix, Arizona. "It's easily divided for smaller portions, too-I frequently make just 'one apple's worth'. I you don't like pineapple, try substituting canned mandarin oranges and juice instead."

PINEAPPLE WALDORF SALAD
I found this on the internet a couple of years ago when our apple tree was very abundant. I am not sure where it came from but it is good. The tree is loaded again this year so I expect to be making it again soon. Cook time is chill time.
