Pineapple Salad

4 servings

30 minutes

Pineapple salad, no matter what ingredients are added to it as companions, is a notable table dish from Magadan to Pskov. A post-Soviet classic that clearly demonstrates how the meager store assortment influenced folk recipes . The most important folk hit with pineapple is chicken salad. The current recipe is much lighter and more interesting. Pineapple is not the only bearer of sweetness here: there is also apple and red pepper. They all go well with some slightly spicy hard cheese and mayonnaise, which is best made at home.
