Fresh, easy and everyone loved it. Not too spicy for those who like a milder dressing on their salad.

A very refreshing salad low in calories (lower oil to 1 Tablespoon of olive oil with lots of crunch, some fire, and some sweetness. It looks visually appealing and takes little time to put together. If you are tired of the same old salad, give this one a try. Don't get hung up on all the ingredients. I didn't have a pineapple, so I used a mango and a gala apple in substitution. My wife, who hates hot things, said to go ahead and make it again. I did cut open the small Serrano chili and used a spoon to remove ribs and seeds to take down the heat a big notch. Suggest you do that if you mate is like mine. I also added a teaspoon of honey at the end drizzled over the top of the salad to take the "bite" out of the heat. The only other thing I did was to shred the lettuce leaves under the salad so my wife could eat the lettuce leaves with the salad to reduce the heat. She said she much prefers that over whole leaves, or even big chunks, as those would take a knife to cut them. Easier for me to cut them on the prep. board with everything else. Jim in So. California

No one else seems interested in making this. I enjoyed it and find it pretty enough to serve to guest. I'll make it again sometime.
