Salad with Pineapple, Mushrooms and Grapefruit

An exotic, refreshing salad for fans of light, wholesome food! Who knows how to pair foods that supposedly don't go together? I couldn't find anything like this on English-language sites — as though nobody anywhere cooks pineapple and mushrooms together. But there's one country famous for its refined cuisine: France. I wouldn't be surprised to find a recipe for mushroom ice cream on a French site, because those national mushrooms of theirs turn up everywhere. And mushrooms with pineapple? Hardly a novelty — of course they make it. They turn it into a salad as fresh as the morning, one the French themselves call "music" — a salad with mushrooms and pineapple.

  • It's best to make this salad ahead of time so it spends at least a night in the fridge. Cut the pineapple into small cubes and put them in a bowl along with a little of the juice. Peel the grapefruits, separate them into segments, remove the membrane from each segment, and break them into a few pieces. Mix with the pineapple pieces. Cut the raw mushrooms into thin slices. Then mix everything together very well with the pineapple juice. Raw mushrooms act like sponges — they'll happily soak up the juice and turn sweet. Keep the salad at the very bottom of the fridge. A dry white wine pairs very well with this salad.
