Ingredients for 4 servings:
- 1 ripen pineapple
- 1 tbsp. greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 medium bunch fresh basil leaves (around 30 gr.) and 5 extra leaves to garnish
- 8 fresh raspberries
Method:
- Using a sharp knife, cut the green and the bottom of the pineapple.
- Stand the pineapple straight and slice off the peel in strips from up until down. Try to take out as many "eyes" of peel from the pineapple's flesh as possible.
- On a clean wooden board, thinly slice the pineapple.
- Using a small metalic round circle (I used a cookie cutter) take out the hard center of each pineapple slice (you could also use a knife to make a circle aroung the hard center).
- In a recipient that you use for blending add the yoghurt, basil and maple syrup (don't forget to keep 4-5 leaves for garnishing). With a hand blender, make a fine dressing.
- On a big platter, arrange slices of pineapple, drizzle the basil dressing, top with raspberries and fresh chopped basil.
