Low Calorie: Hawaiian Medley Side Dish Recipe

This Hawaiian-style medley is a fresh alternative to a vegetable side dish. Hubby & I, as well as our Japanese exchange student all just love it! It is definitely a “go to” for us now! We have eaten it many times…as a side dish a few times…and as a main dish by adding chicken cubes and by adding pork cubes – at different times, of course. We have eaten it with rice and without….with coconut flakes and without. We haven’t found a way that we don’t all like it!

Low Calorie: Hawaiian Medley Side Dish Recipe

Yummy! Yummy! Plus, virtually no calories – SCORE! To stretch it into a main dish for four, top with 1 cup of roasted cashews and serve it over steamed rice.

    This is so delicious! I didn’t have any fresh pineapple, so I drained a can of pineapple tidbits and added that to it instead…and I used toasted sliced almonds instead of the roasted cashews, since I didn’t have cashews—fantastic!!! We will add this to our regular weekly menu! It is beautiful! And so healthy! Thanks so much!
