I love the pineapple coffee cake.
I think the Asian Mandarin Salad sounds good. My fav ingredient in it is the Dole Mandarin Oranges!
The Asian Mandarin Salad looks delightful. Perfect for spring. My favorite ingredient would be the garlic ginger, something unique.
I like the Pineapple Salsa Chicken. Can’t say I have a favorite ingredient, we eat a lot of chicken and love different kinds of salsa so this recipe sounds pretty good. The Asian Mandarin Salad looks pretty good too

The Pineapple Salsa Chicken looks really good. I like things with a bit of heat. I also think the sweetness of the pineapple would compliment the chicken.
