The Raw Truth

Pineapple-Pepper Salad

Peppers give this recipe just the right crunch. Apple mint adds an especially nice flavor to this salad, but if you can’t find it, any sort of fresh mint

will do.

SERVES 2 TO 4

1 large pineapple

2 red bell peppers, seeded and sliced

4 kiwis, peeled and thinly sliced crosswise

¼ cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

¼ cup minced apple mint leaves

Juice of ½ orange

With a sharp knife, carefully cut the pineapple in half lengthwise, remove and discard the core, and cut out the fruit, leaving 2 hollowed-out pineapple
halves. Remove the abrasive brown eyes from the fruit. Dice the pineapple fruit.
In a large bowl, mix together the diced pineapple, peppers, kiwis, and herbs. Stir in the orange juice. To serve, divide the salad among the empty
pineapple halves.
