Pineapple-Cheese Salad
"I have no idea of the origin of this recipe. I know that my sister and I are the fourth generation (at least) to make this recipe. I warn you: it is an acquired taste, but it goes great with anything. To me, when I think of northern central Louisiana cuisine/southern food, this is the "salad" I think of."

I have been eating this since I was a kid, minus the lettuce. Also good made with canned pears. A favorite childhood recipe for me!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I teach middle school ELA in a public school here. I like to cook sauces mostly. I have just begun to cook OAMC and make-ahead since acquiring a chest deep freeze. I love looking at all of the posted recipes on here! My day begins with checking out the previous day's new recipes add-ons, the chef of the day, and the most recent forum postings for OAMC. My pet peeves are Curry Chicken from a local restaurant (which seems to go with the more curry powder is more theory) and people who don't like flavorful foods. Update (5 months late, but sue me): I am the proud mama of a beautiful red-haired boy as of April 26, 2010. Already, his favorite foods are: bananas, carrots, pumpkin, applesauce, and roasted pears. He doesn't like potatoes; I know, go figure.</p>
