I had a similar salad at Sweet Tomatoes, but this one is even better. 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 nuts |
3 green onions, 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.
