Tropical Salad With Pineapple Vinaigarette 10 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 4 Change to: Servings US Metric RECIPE BY: mykidslightmylife I had a similar salad at Sweet Tomatoes, but this one is even better. I found a recipe online at Allrecipes, but tweaked it to my own tastes. Toasting the coconut and macadamia nuts is important! Ingredients 6 slices bacon, browned & crumbled 1/2 cup fresh pineapple 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 teaspoons sugar (can use Splenda) (optional) fresh ground black pepper salt 1 (10 ounce) package chopped romaine lettuce 1 cup diced fresh pineapple 1 cup chopped and toasted macadamia nut 3 green onion, chopped (optional) 1/4 cup flaked coconut, toasted Directions 1 In blender, combine pineapple, red wine vinegar, oil, sugar, pepper and salt. Blend until pineapple is smooth and ingredients are incorporated. 2 In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce, pineapple, macadamia nuts, green onions and bacon. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. Garnish with toasted coconut.
