Vida Recetas Editorial
This pineapple salad with prawns and marinated salmon is a fresh, sophisticated, and surprisingly easy-to-make proposal. Originating from a fusion of tropical and marine flavors, this recipe has become a classic for summer dinners and special celebrations. Its combination of fresh ingredients and a homemade pink sauce with a touch of brandy and orange makes it a balanced dish that delights lovers of sweet and salty contrasts.
Why does this salad work?
The pineapple adds natural sweetness and a juicy texture that contrasts with the intense flavor of the marinated salmon and the softness of the prawns. The avocado adds creaminess, while the pink sauce, made with a homemade mayonnaise, provides a tangy and unctuous touch that unites all the elements. It is a perfect option as a light main course or as an elegant starter to impress your guests.

For the pink sauce. We make a classic mayonnaise: in the blender bowl, we put 100 ml of oil and the egg, and with the mixer attached to the base, we beat at maximum power until we see that it begins to emulsify. At that moment we add the rest of the oil in the form of a thread and add the pinch of salt. On top of the mayonnaise, add the ketchup, the orange juice and the splash of Brandy.
