Yield: 5 - 6 servings

  • 1/2 cup pineapple tidbits, drained
  • 1/2 cup each: mayonnaise and sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup cooked Cavena Nuda
  • 2 medium red apples, diced
  • 1/2 rib celery, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

To prepare Cavena Nuda, place 2 cups grain in a saucepan and cover with 3 1/2 cups water. Bring to boil, then turn down heat to medium and cook until just tender, 40 to 45 minutes.

Drain pineapple, reserving 2 teaspoons juice. Set both aside. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice. In a larger bowl, combine Cavena Nuda, apples, celery and pineapple. Add dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate one hour. Just before serving stir in walnuts. Serve in lettuce-lined bowl if desired. Makes 5 to 6 servings.
