I’ll never forget when I went to California for a blogging retreat, and one of the other bloggers there told me I’m not nearly as much of a dud in person as I appear to be online. Okay….she didn’t say it exactly like that. I think her words were something more like, “You’re much funnier than I thought you’d be”…..which basically means the same, right? DUD.

Sigh. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 3 years of blogging, it’s that being yourself online is hard. For so many reasons! It’s hard to know what to share, how much to share, how to have your voice come across in a way that actually sounds like you….

And it’s hard to know how the things you share are being heard! Do people find my stories endearing, my complaining relatable, my rambling funny? Or do I kind of come across as….well….a dud?

Equally tricky? Figuring out what types of recipes to share. Do I stick with the tried and true favorites that everyone knows and loves? Or do I share new flavor combinations that just happen to be delicious? And do I leave out certain ingredients that everyone might not love? The struggle is real!

To be honest, I struggled a little bit with sharing this recipe. Not because it’s not delicious…but because it’s not a well-known combo. Pineapple & tomatoes? Not your go-to salad toppings. So you’re going to have to trust me on this one. The flavors are amazing together….and when you add the crunchy carrots, the crispy chicken, and the sweet honey mustard, it’s one of my all time favorites!

Still not sure? Well, I actually based this recipe on one of my favorite salads from a great local restaurant. So….it’s been done before. You’ve maybe just never heard of it. Which is exactly what I’m here for! Trust me.

    That looks amazing, so fresh and colourful, and I bet the flavours… drool. I’m bookmarking this for a sunny day as it’s raining and cold in the UK. I manage to make salad the most boring meal alive, to the point that I dread eating it. Might have to omit the pineapple for my boring husband’s portion though (extra for meeeee!) who has a thing about meat and fruit together *eyeroll*

    You come over fine to me 🙂 And at the end of the day, the only person you need to please about yourself, is yourself. I had to stop caring about what people think of me a long time ago, it can drive you nuts.

    The salad is so bright! I rare consume mayo, but the salad looks very tasty and I think I can make an exception! 😀
