I was the salad course for a hawaiian themed progressive dinner. I doubled this recipe. I forgot to buy the chile pepper so I added a can of diced green peppers. I have to tell you, it sure is gorgeous! (And the garlic smells awesome!). Although I did not really care for this myself, others did. Thank you for sharing your recipe NurseDi

Took this to a Hawaiian party as my dish to pass. Got rave reviews from everyone, although I didn't much care for it. Added 1c processed coconut for kicks.

Made this last night, and I have to say that the flavor combinations in this just blew me away! Deeeelish!! The tropical, sweet pineapple is a wonderful addition that I never thought to add to a salad, but it works so well in this. I cut the recipe in half, using 1 can of beans which was about 1 1/2 cups and put in 2 jalapenos for a really spicy salad. Also, I didn't have allspice. I hope that didn't make a big difference but truthfully, I just love it without. Thank you, NurseDi, this is definitley a "keeper" recipe!
