Description

An easy, refreshing salad. It is especially good in the winter, when you need a bit of summer!

Ingredients

  • 6 slices Cooked Bacon
  • 1 bag Chopped Romaine Lettue
  • ½ cups Chopped And Toasted Macadamia Nuts
  • ½ cups Toasted, Flaked Coconut
  • 1 can (large) Pineapple Tidbits In Juice, Reserve The Juice
  • ½ cups Reserved Pineapple Juice
  • 6 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • ½ cups Oil
  • Freshly Ground Pepper, to taste
  • Salt To Taste

Preparation

1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside. Or you can use the pre-cooked bacon. Just heat it first so it is crispy.

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, and bacon. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. Garnish with toasted coconut.

I have made this for two barbeque parties so far this summer and it has gotten rave reviews and recipe requests. I did leave out the macadamia nuts since I didn’t have them. Also, I used 3/4 pineapple juice and 1/4 cup oil to cut down on some fat
—This is sooooo good!
