Classic pineapple salad - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, canned pineapple works well! Drain it thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the salad.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. The texture is best when served fresh.
Try grilled tofu or chickpeas for a protein-rich vegetarian version.
Prep ingredients separately and combine 1 hour before serving to maintain freshness.
Mild cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar blend well, but feel free to experiment with feta for tanginess.
Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise and reduce the cheese amount.
Freezing isn’t recommended—mayonnaise-based salads separate and become watery when thawed.
Serve with grilled meats, crusty bread, or as a stand-alone light lunch.
