Any good side salads recipes for a Hawaiian Luau?

Question

I am looking for ideas for my Luau other than the regular Potato/Pasta Salad. Any ideas on side dishes or side salads?

Answer 1

HAWAIIAN PUNCH RICE

2 c. rice
3 c. Hawaiian Punch
2 c. water
1 diced pineapple
Diced chicken breast

Heat Hawaiian punch and water to a boil. Add rice and lower heat to medium. Let rice cook. Put cooked rice in a serving dish that already has the diced chicken breast pieces. Add pineapple. Stir until you have a good mix of rice, chicken and pineapple. Enjoy.

TROPICAL BREEZE SALAD

25 - 30 nilla wafers
4 ripe sliced bananas
1 can dole tropical fruit
1 small can diced pears
1 (8oz) cream cheese (softened)
1 box instant banana pudding
1 cup of regular cool whip (thawed)
1 container strawberry cool whip (thawed)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups cold milk

In a 9x9 square pan cover the bottom with the Nilla Wafers. Overlap the wafers with the sliced bananas. In a medium size bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and 1 cup regular Cool Whip together. Layer and spread this mixture over the bananas.
In a separate bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix and 1 1/2 cups cold milk together. Spoon the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. Drain the Tropical fruit and diced pears and evenly distribute over the pudding.

Finally, top with the Strawberry Cool Whip. Garnish with any leftover fruit or Nilla Wafer crumbs. Refrigerate.

Enjoy!

This recipe can be prepared in a 9x13 pan or a trifle dish. Just double the ingredients for the larger container.

Answer 2

For a Luau you have to have Lomi Lomi Salmon.

Ingredients needed:

* 1 pound salt salmon, shredded
* 4 pounds ripe tomatoes, small dice
* 3/4 pound Maui onion, finely diced
* 5 ounces scallions, whites and greens, coarsely chopped


Mix all ingredients together by hand ('lomi lomi' means "to massage" in Hawaiian). Let cool in refrigerator.

Yield: 10 servings
