Didn't make the glaze, just brushed pineapple & onion with olive oil and sprinkled on cayene and chinese five-spice...truly an amazingly good taste and one I'll make again. The grilling really brought the pineapple flavor out!

Made this for 4th of July. I followed it exactly until I got to the vinegarette. I fell in love with the 5 spices and added about 1/8th (pinch of it to the vinegarette. It was very good. It's a keeper especially during those summer BBQs.

I made this salad last night. I didn't have the glaze, but put the cayenne, 5-spice powder and some olive oil on the pineapple and onion and let it marinate until ready to grill. I sampled the pineapple, and if we weren't expecting company, there would have been none left to grill!! The combination of 5-spice and cayenne is pure genius! I didn't want to make the dressing, so I used balsamic vinegarette. There was no salad left over.
