Tomorrow at work we are having a potluck. All the ladies in the company are organizing it and we all decided to make a dish for our hard working men. I volunteered to make a Leek and Pineapple salad. I had it once at Andrew’s house and I loved it, so I got the recipe from Andrew’s mom. The recipe was quite simple, 2-3 leeks, half a pineapple, mayo, and salt and pepper. I made a try run on Saturday just to see if I can make it, and it turned out alright. Today when I begun making the salad, my precious mother suggested running the leeks over hot water to get rid of the sometimes overpowering onion smell. So that is just what I did. I ran the hot water over them, but soon after I realized that the leeks shrunk to half its size. What was supposed to be a salad for 20 people, the finished product looked like it could only feed maybe…4…. I didn’t know what to do, so my brother and my mom started adding anything they could find in the kitchen to make it look like there is more salad. First went the corn, then green beans, followed by red peppers, slices apples, and a handful of raisins. Needles to say it turned out to taste actually aright; to my surprise. We decorated it and here are some photos of my mystery salad.
