Tropical Salad with Pineapple Vinaigrette

I really love a tasty salad and this one is sooo good. The sweet of the pineapple and salty of the bacon make the perfect combination.

Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 1/4 cup pineapple juice
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• salt to taste
• 1 (10 ounce) package chopped romaine lettuce
• 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
• 1/2 cup chopped and toasted macadamia nuts
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup flaked coconut, toasted

Directions

1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
2. In a cruet or jar with a lid, combine pineapple juice, red wine vinegar, oil, pepper and salt. Cover and shake well.
3. 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.
