Thank you for such a delicious salad! My wife and I are trying to eat meals that don't heat the kitchen up-this is a winner! My wife and I do not care for green bell pepper or cilantro. I bought a large red bell pepper as a substitution for the green bell pepper. I omitted the cilantro from the dressing mixture. We will make this again!!!!

This was a terrific discovery from this month's Asian Tag game. I enjoyed the combination of sweet, salty, crunchy, & tender. I thought it would be a nice dish for a potluck as it is colorful & yet different enough to not be standard fare. Next time I will chop the pineapple a little to better match the size of the other ingredients and might add more cilantro. (we like it) Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I love this stuff! I took it to a potluck, expecting to have some leftovers for lunch, but they at it all! Apparently everyone else loved it as much as I do. :-) Seriously, it's great blend of salty, savory, and sweet, and the mix of textures is just about perfect, too. This will be a summertime staple; thanks for posting.
