Pineapple and Olive Salad

2 servings

15 minutes

Salad with pineapples and olives is an exquisite combination of sweetness and salty notes, born in Russian cuisine but with clearly Mediterranean motifs. Pineapples give the dish a refreshing fruity sweetness, while olives add a subtle spiciness. Hard cheese softens the flavor contrasts, and orange sweet pepper adds freshness and a light crunch. Pork balyk brings a noble meaty tone, creating a balance between sweet and salty. With its rich flavor profile, this salad is perfect for festive gatherings as well as for a light dinner. It can be a wonderful complement to meat dishes or serve as an independent gastronomic delight. Its serving with pineapple juice and olive marinade makes the texture especially tender, filling each spoonful with a rich yet harmonious taste.
