The Gourmet Review

Moorea Prawns and Pineapple Salad. As if the turquoise waters and white sand of French Polynesia’s Four Season’s Bora Bora Hotel  aren’t already enough!

You’ll have to make a quick trip to an Asian market for some of the vinaigrette ingredients, but it’s worth the effort.

The combination of shrimp, tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh pineapple and a zesty dressing with a bit of kick is absolutely delicious. You’ll never guess the secret ingredients to the dressing.
