Chicken Pineapple Salad

Chicken Pineapple Salad is an easy chicken recipe that combines vegetables, chicken and pineapple. The dressing is done using mayonnaise which gives it the creamy texture. This chicken pineapple salad is a little sweeter one and thus serves as a great accompaniment to any spicy starter. Often makes for a quick healthy dinner. Especially in the summer months when hot meals become a no-no, its mostly cold salads and some quick starters at my place. Chicken Cafreal and Russian Salad is one of my personal favorite combination ?

Some more cold salads which are moving on to become regular at my place are Spicy Potato Salad, Corn Salad and Avocado Tomato Salad. ? If you are sea-food lover like me, you would like to try Prawn and Orange Salad (a unique combination of spicy fried prawns and fresh orange)
