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!Reply

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.Reply
