This was a nice light different salad. I doubled for Mother's Day and used almonds instead of mac nuts and served coconut on the side. I also cheated and used real bacon bits instead of frying my own bacon. My MIL loved it!

This was very tastey!I made it without the coconut flakes and the pineapple chunks.I think next time I will make it just as written.I thought it would make it too sweet but now I know it would of been better.I would also double the dressing if you like alot of dressing.I will surely make this again.It has a unique taste...Great when you want to impress your guests!!!

I love this salad. I made it twice now, once for a special mothers day lunch and again for a bridal shower luncheon. Its always a huge sucess and everyone love how light and sweet it is. I've even substitued the mac. nuts for cashews and it was delicous both ways

I loved this recipe (with some additions from the comments) - I reduced the oil, increased the juice, used rice wine vinegar, added the garlic and ginger and some sugar for the dressing - ABSOLUTELY necessary additions or else you're basically just pouring juice on your salad. - I also included red peppers in the salad and it was a HUGE hit.

I wasn't too crazy about the recipe for the dressing. I ended up adding a bit of sugar,lots more pineapple juice, and half the oil. The salad with the pineapple and bacon and coconut was delicious, so altogether it was okay. I would probably try it again.

Light & absolutely delicious! The only changes I made was to prepare salad for 50 people & only made enough dressing for 30. Just perfect amount of dressing! Compliments galore! Definately a keeper recipe.

I like pineapple, and I had high hopes for this salad. The thing that I think was the weak link was the dressing. It had very little flavor, I had to try and kick up the flavor without any luck, the foundation of the dressing wasn't great. It was to oily, and the pineapple juice really wasn't the best option for flavoring a dressing. I think I would do a sweet poppyseed dressing, and use all the other additions if I did this again.

YUM! This was delicious. Just the right salad for my summer dinner party. Everyone loved it. I tossed the salad and served it on my salad plates with the macadamias and toasted coconut as a garnish. That way, it didn't get too soupy, as other reviewers had mentioned. It was a beautiful presentation, and, many compliments later, this is staying in my recipe box!

I made this for my work and everyone loved it. I emulsified the dressing the day before and refrigerated it overnight. I used the Organic Spring Greens from Costco (16 oz). I would definitely make this again. I think it would taste great with grilled chicken or salmon

My husband liked this but I didn't care for it. Not enough flavor or any zing to make your tastebuds stand up. I won't fix this again.

Made this for my wedding dinner,it was a total hit. I did emulsify the oil in the dressing so it would not separate. I toasted the macadamias and the coconut on foil and used precooked bacon strips that I used my handy chopper on. I also used bagged spring mix and cut up pineapple from the deli so it was superfast to prepare and clean up and looked so good!! Even my father and husband loved it. I wish I had made more, because they scrapped the bowl clean.

My oh my...I made this for Easter and it was a HUGE hit. The only thing I did differently was use balsamic vinegar in place of red wine vinegar simply because that's what I had on hand. Oh! I also used honey-roasted macadamia nuts (pulsed in the food processor) because they were on sale. What a yummy, yummy salad, I will definitely make this again and again!!!

I thought this salad was absolutely wonderful! It was very light and tastes great! I didn't even bother with toasting the almonds, and it was still good! I did add a touch more pineapple juice to the vinaigrette to make it a bit sweeter.

Really unique and relatively easy recipe HOWEVER I agree fully with all the reviewers that the dressing is "too much" to put on the salad - way too runny and I wish I'd known this before as it sort of ruined the overall appeal of the salad as people served it and saw how much dressing was left on the bottom. So I'd recommend either making half as much dressing or serving it on the side. Otherwise, wonderful and goes with so many different cuisines.

I used canned pineapple & juice, subbed white wine vinegar for the red wine vinegar, spinach for the romaine, red onion for the green, and sliced almonds which I toasted & sugared, for the macadamias. Nice delicate dressing for this salad; we enjoyed it. Thank you for the recipe, Marianne!
