How To Make tropical grilled pineapple waldorf salad
-
Step 1Cut top and bottom off pineapple and peel. Slice into 8 equal slices and remove cores from each slice with a small sharp knife. Heat a grill pan on medium high heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Grill 4 slices of pineapple at a time, turning when grill marks appear on first side, about 2 minutes. Grill on the other side and remove to plate. Continue with the remaining pineapple slices. Cut 2 of the slices into small ½-inch tidbits and place in a large bowl. Place remaining 6 slices of grilled pineapple on 6 plates as a base to place salad on.

Step 2Peel and core granny smith apples and slice into ½-inch slices. Core and slice fuji apple into ½-inch slices, leaving peel on. Dice all apples into ½-inch pieces and place in small bowl. Squeeze both lemon halves over apples, tossing to coat well, then add apples to pineapple tidbits in bowl. Add celery, grapes, mango, kiwis, raisins and walnuts. Toss to combine.

Step 3Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place coconut in a shallow baking pan and cook 3-4 minutes, turning every minute, until lightly toasted. Cool for 3 minutes. Toss all but 3 Tablespoons of coconut into fruit mixture.

Step 4To make the dressing, in the bowl of an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat whipping cream on high speed until soft peaks form.
