Salad with pineapple and walnuts - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Almonds, pecans, or cashews work well as walnut substitutes. Ensure they're chopped to a similar size for texture consistency.
Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. The mayo-based dressing may cause the pineapple to release moisture over time, so drain excess liquid before serving leftovers.
Use grilled tofu, chickpeas, or tempeh for protein. You could also double the pineapple and corn for a lighter, fruit-forward version.
Reduce the corn and pineapple quantities, and substitute mayo with Greek yogurt. Add crunchy veggies like celery or bell peppers instead.
Toasting walnuts for 5-7 minutes at 350°F (175°C) enhances their flavor, but raw walnuts work perfectly if you prefer a milder taste.
Yes! Mix all ingredients except walnuts up to 24 hours ahead. Add nuts just before serving to maintain their crunch.
Serve chilled in lettuce cups, as a sandwich filling, or alongside crusty bread. Garnish with extra cheese or pineapple chunks for presentation.
Use a 1:1 ratio: double/triple all ingredients equally. Keep dressing ingredients (mayo) at about 1 tbsp per serving to prevent sogginess.
