Salads are one of our favorite meatless meals! Just think of the endless options and variations you can create!

In honor of Summer, we are using fresh, grilled pineapple to create a salad with the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.

As a side note, pineapple is considered to be an excellent anti-inflammatory, making this salad a great recovery cure for sore muscles!
