Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a creamier vinaigrette, add 1 tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt or avocado.
- Add other vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, or avocado for extra nutrients and flavor.
- Toasted slivered almonds or walnuts would add a nice crunch.
- If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but make sure to drain it well to avoid excess liquid.
