Additions:
- Vegetables: Sautéed bell peppers, chopped celery, red onions, or grilled corn for added crunch and flavor.
- Fruits: Fresh or canned mandarin oranges, peaches, or grapes for sweetness and juiciness.
- Nuts: Toasted almonds, walnuts, or pecans for a nutty crunch and nutritional boost.
- Seeds: Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds to add texture and nutrients.
- Cheese: Grated cheddar, Monterey Jack, or feta cheese for a creamy, salty addition.
- Fresh herbs: Chopped parsley, basil, or dill for a pop of freshness and flavor.
Variations:
- Use different pasta: Rotini, penne, or fusilli would provide a more interesting texture to the salad.
- Try different beans: Swap out the peas for black beans, chickpeas, or kidney beans for added protein and flavor.
- Enhance the dressing: Add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing for sweetness, or a dash of Dijon mustard for a tangy kick.
- Elevate the pineapple: Grill or roast the pineapple slices for a smoky, caramelized flavor.
- Add some heat: Sprinkle in a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicy twist.
Presentation tips:
- Arrange on a platter: Make the salad look more appetizing by arranging it on a large platter or serving bowl.
- Garnish with pineapple slices: Cut fresh pineapple slices into triangles and use them to decorate the top of the salad.
- Drizzle with dressing: Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad just before serving for extra flavor.
