A Flavorful Twist for Your Salads
Pineapple vinaigrette is a delightful and zesty dressing that can elevate any salad. This quick and easy recipe combines fresh or canned pineapple juice with a few simple ingredients, creating a tangy flavor that is sure to please your taste buds.
Pineapple Vinaigrette: Enhanced Flavor
I’ve updated the original recipe, which initially featured a subtle pineapple flavor, by adding a pineapple ice cream topping. This enhancement not only intensifies the flavor but also adds a unique twist to the traditional vinaigrette. If you prefer, you can substitute pineapple preserves for the ice cream topping, but be sure to choose preserves that are free of spices like allspice, cloves, or star anise, as these could alter the intended flavor of the vinaigrette.
Serve and Enjoy Pineapple Vinaigrette
This dressing can be made in just five minutes, making it a perfect choice for a last-minute addition to your meal. Just remember to shake the jar before serving to ensure all the ingredients are mixed well for a burst of pineapple goodness.
