Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 1 pineapple
  • 1 large onion(s), red
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon(s) (organic)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • salt and pepper
  • basil

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Peel the pineapple and slice into thick rings. Peel the onion and slice into thick rings. Mix the olive oil with a little salt and pepper and drizzle over the pineapple and onion rings. Work very carefully to keep the onion rings whole. Preheat the grill and grill the pineapple slices for about 5 minutes on each side. Grill the onion rings until soft. Then quarter the pineapple; if it’s large, it’s better to cut it into 8 pieces. Roughly chop the onion rings and place everything in a bowl. Finely chop the basil or leave the leaves whole and sprinkle over the pineapple and onion rings. Grate the lemon zest and squeeze out the juice. Mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and mix well. Season to taste. The salad tastes best when it’s had time to marinate.
