Old School Pineapple Salad
Pineapple Salad , a classic old school recipe. It’s such a simple recipe and quite tasty! This salad follows the same basic concept of Southern Pear Salad.
I remember the pear version being served more often, but on occasion, the pineapple version made it’s appearance on the table.
Back in the day, as they say, mayonnaise was often used as a simple salad dressing. Of course that was before we had a gazillion options for salad dressings as we do today.
The combination of flavors will surprise you at how good it taste if you’ve never had pineapple salad. If you’re not a fan of mayonnaise, you could substitute cottage cheese instead.
I had one reader comment that pineapple salad was still one of their mother’s favorites. So bring back these classic salads to the table soon. I’ll tell you how….

My mom used to make this for us. I thought it looked gross and wouldn’t try it. She said she had it at school. She was born in 1939. I’ll eat anything now so I’m going to try it!
Hi Kat! It is one of those things, just like a pear salad, where the ingredients don’t make sense but really are so good. I hope you enjoy it.

This is such a favorite of mine. I chop my lettuce instead of using leaves and I also buy pineapple chunks instead of sliced pineapple. This makes it so much easier to eat instead of having to cut everything up as you go or before eating it.
