Spicy Pineapple-Peanut Salad image

In a salad rut? This recipe gets you thinking outside the box of leafy greens and into a whole new category of healthy sides by pairing slices of sweet, fresh pineapple with savory stars like roasted peanuts and thinly-sliced shallots. A zippy vinaigrette and fresh chile pepper tie together this simple, Thai-inspired side that is perfect for serving alongside meaty mains or saucy stir-fried tofu.
