This is a recipe I keep my “back pocket” for an easy and delectable party dip. Because the pineapple offers a texture that is comparable to shredded chicken and the savory ingredients cover up the pineapple flavor, I’ve had people ask me if it is chicken salad. It’s the ideal addition to your favorite crackers for a quick bite before a meal or a filling afternoon snack. You may serve it on celery sticks or those tiny tri-colored mini bell peppers, split in half, if you’d want to sneak in some vegetables.

Reviews
I loved this and used regular onions since I didn’t have green (which I will try later). Plus used red bell pepper. I’m sure the green would give it a different flavor but enjoyed the less spice of the red pepper.
