    Fresh Pineapple, Avocado and Pea Shoot Salad

    Fresh Pineapple, Avocado and Pea Shoot Salad

    I am a huge fan of spring and summer because that means more salads for meals and I am a huge fan of a salad. Big or small, I love salad.  Myself and 5 other bloggers teamed up to bring you some fun healthy recipes. Fresh Pineapple, Avocado and Pea Shoot Salad www.PineappleandCoconut.com #HealthySpring #KitchenIQ

    Normally when I make salads I make HUGE salads. At least 5-6 cups of lettuce plus all the other fun add ins. This time I decided to go for something different and not pile on the lettuce, but thin slices of fruits and veggies.

    I wanted a nice variety of flavors, textures and color in this salad. Sweet pineapple, creamy avocado, spicy peppers, thin red onion, my favorite - pea shoots and I forgot to add the tomatoes to this pic! Oops!

    One fun thing about making salads is I get to use my GIANT fancy Japanese knife my  husband got me for Christmas. I feel like a samurai when I am using that thing. I think my husband likes the knife because he can practice his knife sharpening skills. When we were first dating he impressed me with how well he kept his knives and he sharpened them on a regular basis. He's a fantastic cook by the way, and I will be featuring some of his recipes soon.

    When Kitchen IQ sent me a few gadgets to try out, my husband was most excited about the knife sharpeners. We got to try out a few, and for my fancy knife the preferred sharpening method is the stone. It gets my knife so super sharp so I can chop red onion slices so thin you can see through them. Now that is thin!

    I love adding in crunchy items like nuts and seeds and I am pretty sure I could eat my bodyweight in salted sunflower seeds if given the chance. So I usually eat a generous handful as I am making my salads and I still sprinkle some on the salad. No selenium deficiencies for me.
