A spectacular season-spanning salad

"Mixing pineapple and squash, which have such different seasonal associations, creates a really surprising flavor mixture. It’s sweet, sour, full of spice, a little bitter, and has an almost meaty aroma from the grilled fruit. So simple, so delicious, and totally unique.”

-Adriana Urbina

Spices in this Recipe Card

Allspice Powder

Native to: Central America
Plant family: Myrtaceae
Raw form: Berry

As its name suggests, Allspice brings forth a deliciously warm, subtle sweet flavor that’s evocative of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, all mixed together.

The name is as unoriginal as it sounds. When English settlers first encountered these pungent berries in Central America, they gave up trying to describe its complex flavor and settled on Allspice.

Q
Breakfast, lunch, dinner – which one is best?
A

I’ve always looked forward to waking up because I absolutely love breakfast!!! When I was a kid we used to have a big delicious breakfast all together and it was the best time of the day.

Q
What’s your favorite off-the-beaten-path spice you wish more people knew about?
A

Juniper. I think it gives a very special ​piney ​flavor​ with hints of citrus. If you've had gin before, you'll recognize the distinct ​taste​ of ​juniper.

Q
You’re in charge of snacks for the road trip. What are you packing?
A

Quality prosciutto, bread, a good selection of funky cheeses, lots of different fruits and vegetables, chips and guacamole, and roasted nuts.
