Karen’s Killer Fixin’s: Pineapple Cheese Salad

5 Comments

Cooking

It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is PINEAPPLE CHEESE SALAD!

My mom has been making this recipe most of my life for special holidays and parties, but it’s a great change on the traditional salad anytime. Placing squares of Pineapple Cheese Salad on a bed of lettuce looks festive and the flavors are pure dessert. It’s a favorite in my house and easy to make, even though it takes a bit of planning to allow for the “setting” time. Mmmmm! I think I may need to make this soon. 🙂

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

It’s been awhile since I’ve had the opportunity to share one of my own recipes on Killer Fixin’s and I thought it would be nice to share a quick and easy steak recipe. We’ll be entering grilling season soon and this recipe is not only easy but savory and delicious.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
