This salad is a bit too time-consuming to make for a weeknight meal. I'll save it for special occasions.

I'm not a fan of mayonnaise, so I substituted Greek yogurt in this salad. It turned out great!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover ham, but I think it would be even better with fresh ham.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less pineapple next time.
