Everyone that has ever eaten this just loves it! Sometimes I add a little chopped green pepper.

my sister, milann, brought this to a goddess retreat once and it was gone so fast. we all loved it. it has become our family's favorite dip! my son tried it with adding chopped ham as well.....was great that way, as well!

I made this for a Thanksgiving appetizer. Most people liked it, but no one was crazy about it. The pineapple/ranch combination is very different and doesn't appeal to everyone. I think if I made it again, I would cut the ranch down or just leave it out altogether.
