Ingredients

1 can (8 ounces) sliced pineapple
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

5 cups torn salad greens
1 small green pepper, julienned

Sprinkle both sides of chicken with pepper; grill or broil for 4-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Cut into strips.
Grill or broil pineapple for 2-3 minutes, turning often until browned. To serve, place the greens, peppers, mushrooms and onion in a large bowl; top with chicken and pineapple. Drizzle with remaining dressing. Yield: 4 servings.
