Peel the pineapple and remove the eyes.

Cut 1/4 of it into small cubes.

Allow the crunchy bell peppers and carrots to soak in juicy pineapple chunks.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Scoop out spoonful and place it on the butter lettuce. Top it with walnuts.

Crunchy juicy  salad is ready to savor.

My Notes:

Some people may not like the raw bell papers. You may want to dry roast on a pan and then slice later. But I like the crunchy robust bell peppers. It is wonderful when mixed with the sour and sweet pineapple chunks.

My son preferred to add white onion pieces to the salad. It is all in the individual' preference to include the choice of vegetables.

For the protein component, throw in a handful of boiled beans of your choice.

or

Boil an egg, separate the white, slice into small cubes and add to the mixed vegetables. Donot add the yolk as it changes the flavour of the salad.
