3/4 c. mayonnaise
2 tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sliced celery
1/2 med. green pepper, diced

With sharp knife, slice pineapple into 4 wedges from bottom through crown, leaving on leafy crown for decoration. Cut off hard core from each wedge, then with paring knife, loosen fruit by cutting close to rind, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shell. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate shells. Cut fruit into bite-size pieces.
