June 27, 2017

Did you catch Angie on Global TV this morning? She was celebrating all things pineapple, for National Pineapple Day. The versatile fruit is one of our favourites and we wanted to be sure to use it in a variety of ways, from cocktails to marinades, and in this recipe, its the perfect addition to a summer salad.
