Something a super simple today. It's the weekend. Weekends have to be easy and simple. When I opened the can of pineapple bits, I had all this lovely juice that came along with it. I didn't want to waste the tasty liquid. I usually drink it straight up, but I wasn't in the mood. So my other alternative was to make a dressing.
You can't tell too much from the pictures but the vinaigrette is on there over the avocado, tomato, romaine heart, baby cucumber and cheese.
It's a nice change from the usual the balsamic and honey-mustard vinaigrette.
Pineapple Vinaigrette
5 Tbsp Pineapple Juice
4 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
4 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
pinch of Salt & Pepper to season
Combine all ingredients and drizzle over you mix of greens. You can adjust the amount according to your taste. Enjoy!
I never would have thought to use pineapple juice in a vinaigrette...good idea, sounds yum!
