pineapple cucumber salad mold with yogurt dressing
Yes, it's a gelatin mold! But, using a combination of cucumber puree, pineapple juice, and pineapple chunks, this is a bit different and very refreshing! Don't skip the dressing either. It's a perfect complement. Be aware, you have the option of using sugar or a substitute sweetener.
