1 cup Carrots
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
3 Lettuce Leaves Shredded
1/2 cup Pineapple pieces
1/2 cup Apple chopped
Salt & Pepper to Taste
Instructions
- Cook 1 cup carrots until tender but still slightly crunchy. Cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup cooked peas, the cooled carrots, 1/2 cup pineapple pieces, and 1/2 cup chopped apple.
- Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to taste, then mix gently until well combined.
- Place 3 shredded lettuce leaves on a flat serving dish as a base.
- Heap the vegetable and fruit mixture on top of the lettuce.
- Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
Hints & Tips
- Chill before serving – Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavours.
- Use fresh pineapple – Fresh pineapple will give a juicier, sweeter flavour compared to canned.
- Keep apples fresh – Toss the chopped apple in a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Add crunch – Sprinkle over toasted sunflower seeds or chopped nuts before serving.
- Lighten it up – Use a lighter mayonnaise or a mix of mayo and plain yogurt for a fresher taste.
