Lots of baby boomers remember this salad, or variations of it, from the Fifties. It’s sweet, tart and, yes, nippy. The nippy taste is because of the horseradish. A nippy pineapple salad is quick and easy to put together, it should definitely be revived for the 21st century. Our family friend Glen gave us this recipe. It was his mother’s and directly out of the 1950’s.
These molded salads store pretty well in the refrigerator. Just keep them covered and finish them after a few days.
