Hawaiian Salad

diner524's Note:

This is a recipe I found on Taste of Home site that I modified to add another veggie and some seasoning. This salad is more on the sweet side versus being a tangy vinegar type of dressing.

I really loved this! I used crushed pineapple because I had a can already open, Swiss cheese because I have *a lot* at this time and I added a sliced green onion to my single lunch serving. As it turned out I'm very happy with the crushed pineapple because it mixed well with the other ingredients and I got pineapple with cheese and carrot, lettuce and etc instead of getting just a mouth full of pineapple. Yummy! Made for ZWT7. Witchin Kitchen.

A wonderful side for a tropical barbeque, it get mixed reviews with myself loving the pineapple and cheddar together and DH not so much. Made as written, thanks for the post.

This was very good but missing a bit of acid, so I added a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
