PIQUANT CHEESE SALAD (NO MAYO OR PASTA)

Steps:

• In a serving bowl, mix cubed cheese, onion rings, diced salami, diced tomato & sliced gherkins.
• In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, Tabasco, pepper, olive oil & diced pineapple chunks. (I use a glass jar w/a tight lid & just shake to combine).
• Just b4 serving, toss salad in dressing & serve garnished w/chopped chives as desired.
• NOTE: To make ahead & avoid a mushy cheese effect, follow same prep except DO NOT include diced cheese in the mix of Step 1. Store the cheese ready to use in a sandwich bag or refrigerator container & combine w/salad ingredients at the same time the dressing is added just before serving.
