STOP! Move away from the canned fruit aisle in your supermarket and head to the fruit and veg section instead then pick up a fresh aromatic pineapple.  All joking aside, canned pineapples are just too sweet to use in this salad, we are adding a touch of maple syrup in our vinaigrette and so we don’t really need any added sweetness. Canned pineapples have been packed in juice and are full of sugar, are high in carbs and have more calories. The canning process also destroys many of the nutrients that can be found in fresh pineapples including a key anti-inflammatory enzyme called bromelain.
