Grilled Mango & Pineapple Salad

Author: Chelsea from Chelsea's Messy Apron

INGREDIENTS: 1 (10 ounces) package of romaine lettuce; 1 pineapple; 2 large mangos; ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts, toasted; ⅓ cup flaked coconut, toasted; 2-3 green onions; 1 red bell pepper

Dressing: ⅓ cup 100% canned Pineapple Juice; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 1 tablespoon honey; 1 tablespoon white sugar; ½ teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

Chop the romaine lettuce into small pieces to allow for more absorption of the dressing.

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate with olive oil.

Grill pineapple for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until heated through and grill marks appear.

Slice a mango into 2 pieces and grill until heated through about 3-4 minutes or until grill marks appear.

Chop the pineapple and mangoes into large chunks and add to the salad.

Lightly toast the macadamia nuts and coconut. Add to the salad.

Finely chop the green onions and bell pepper (remove stems and seeds) and add to the salad.

Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a mason jar, seal, and shake well to combine. The dressing is extremely thin/watery (there is nothing like mayo or Dijon mustard to thicken it up), but it's super delicious. Just make sure to dress after serving out the salad and it sticks to the lettuce quite well.

Only dress what you will eat as the dressing will make the salad soggy if it sits for a long time.  Enjoy!

Pineapple and mango jam

TIME: 1-2 hours   MAKES: 1 litre

A recipe from the Good Food collection.

Ingredients: 1 ripe pineapple; 2 large mangoes; 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind; 1/3 cup (80 ml) lemon juice, reserving the pips and rind of 1 lemon; 1.2 kg sugar, warmed

Method:

1. Place two plates in the freezer. Remove the skin and the tough eyes from the pineapple. Cut into quarters lengthways, remove the core and cut the flesh into 1 cm pieces. Peel the mangoes and cut each mango cheek from the stone. Cut into 1 cm pieces. Place the pineapple, mango, any juices, lemon rind and juice, and sugar in a large pan. Stir until all the sugar has dissolved.

2. Place the reserved pips and skin onto a square of muslin and tie securely with string. Add to the pan.

3. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring, for 30–40 minutes, or until setting point is reached. Remove any scum with a skimmer or slotted spoon. Stir across the base of the pan to check that the jam is not sticking or burning. Be careful, the jam will froth. When the jam falls from a tilted wooden spoon in thick sheets without dripping, start testing for setting point.

4. Remove from the heat and test for setting point by placing a little jam on one of the plates. A skin will form on the surface and the jam will wrinkle when pushed with your finger when setting point is reached. Remove any scum from the surface.

5. Pour into clean, warm jars and seal. Turn the jars upside down for 2 minutes, then invert and cool. Label and date. Store in a cool, dark place for 6–12 months. Refrigerate after opening for 6 weeks.
