a photo of pineapple avocado salad

Avocado and pineapple salad is simple but perfectly highlights the subtle creaminess of the avocados and the more assertive pineapple – says my fiancée. I particularly find pineapple and avocado to be strange mixture for a salad - don’t get me wrong I enjoy both pineapple and avocado by themselves or in other recipes, but just not together. Well what I can say my fiancée likes it, maybe you will like it too. Try it!
