Grilled Pineapple Salad
Using the air fryer, make grilled pineapples and grilled peaches with a light and easy lime dressing. This bright dinner salad is great to serve with chicken.
If you have never had a grilled pineapple salad recipe, you are in for a treat. The ease of an air fryer to grill up pineapple and peaches smothered in a light lime dressing packed with flavor is perfect to accompany a classic chicken sandwich this summer.
Easy to make without firing up the grill, the air fryer makes this a warm salad recipe that can be done in just about 15 minutes.
This salad is absolutely upscale-looking (and tasting) and a great choice for a small custom dinner party.

- air fryer grilled pineapple

Grilled Pineapple Salad Recipe
Add freshly air fried pineapple, air fried peaches, red onions, and fresh mint to a mixing bowl.
In a smaller bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper and whisk well. Drizzle the dressing mixture over the air fried fruit and gently toss to coat. Because the fruit is softer since its cooked, using tongs makes it easier.
This salad can be served immediately, either warm or at room temperature. I like adding additional fresh mint leaves for garnish.
Variations
Usually, I fully support adding additional ingredients to salads and making them your own, but serving a warm version is definitely more complicated. There are not as many veggies that can hang in the warm realm. That being said, adding chunks of fresh avocado or chopped bell peppers is a welcome alteration.
If you have leftover grilled pineapple salad, chop the remainder of the peaches and pineapples into smaller bite-sized (salsa-sized) pieces and layer them on top of grilled fish.
Our fan-favorite killer air fryer salmon recipe is a great choice that can take on the bright citrus flavors.
