Description
Pineapples always reminds me of a silly incident that happened with my brother. My brother was sent over out of station for textile purchase once in a while with a fellow senior sales man from our textile shop to learn the tricks of our family Bussiness. On one such visit to Bangalore, in the middle of the night when asleep the senior sales man (sundhar Ji – that’s how we call him) wakes up my brother. My brother wakes up to see an un – known man in front of him. He jumps out of bed howling.. The person says.. “it’s me sundharam” with his face all swollen up to a level of not identifying him. They go around all the streets in the mid night to consult a docter and finally end up in the government hospital and find out the reason being pineapples.. (God alone knows the real reason though) I know sounds crazy but they both had late night dinner and on their way by walk to the hotel… Sundar Ji had two long slices of pineapple from a road side shop. Till date we bully him asking if he wants pineapple’s.. Well now, coming to the salad. A simple salad that I ended up making with available ingredients at home. Tossed and put together in minutes with great results for sure. A recipe apt for beginners too..
