Sauteed Pineapple Salad
Delicious sauteed pineapple slices with a hint of cinnamon and sugar, served on a bed of fresh green lettuce and sprinkled with grated cheddar cheese. Perfect salad course for holiday meals or dinner parties. Ingredients
- 1 head of romaine lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 8 pineapple slices (you can use fresh or canned)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp olive oil if using canned pineapple; 2 - 3 tbsp olive oil if using fresh pineapple
Directions
- Rinse lettuce and tear leaves. Put a few on each plate.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in skillet.
- Drain pineapple if canned & pat dry; if fresh rinse and pat dry.
- If fresh pineapple, saute on each side for several minutes until it gets tender - you will probably need to add more olive oil during the process to keep it from sticking. If using canned, just quickly sear it on each side.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar on each side and continue to saute until the sugar just begins to caramelize
- Transfer cooked pineapple slices to the prepared plates of lettuce
- Top with shredded cheese (do this quickly, while it's hot, so the cheese melts a bit on top the pineapple)
