Note

For best flavor, allow the dressed fruit mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Use a tart apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to balance the sweetness of the pineapple.

If you prefer a less salty dressing, reduce the soy sauce to 1/2 tablespoon and add a pinch of salt instead.

This salad is best served fresh. The lettuce will wilt if dressed too far in advance.

You can substitute the romaine with mixed greens or spinach for a different texture.
