SALADS

Tropical Salad with Pineapple Vinaigrette
This recipe is so simple. The dressing is light, but the all flavors together create wonderful and delicious salad! I served this at a girls night Luau, and it was a hit!

6 slices bacon
1/2 cup pineapple juice
3 TBS red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
freshly ground black pepper to taste
salt to taste
1-2 heads romaine lettuce
1 cup diced FRESH pineapple
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped and toasted
3 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup flaked coconut, toasted

Cook bacon over medium high heat until evenly brown, crumble and set aside. In a cruet jar with a lid, combine pineapple juice, red wine vinegar, oil, pepper, and salt. Cover and shake well. In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce, pineapple, macadamia nuts, green onion, and bacon. Just before serving, pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. Garnish with toasted coconut.
