I made this for a BBQ yesterday. I was surprised that I liked it so much but I ate 3 helpings!! It is different and very tasty. Has a pleasant and fresh taste, real summery. This is a keeper and I can't wait to make it again.

Brilliant! It was yummy. I added just a tad too much of the dressing when I tossed it...I think next time I will let people pour their own. I loved this salad!

I made this right after we returned from a trip to Hawaii and this was great! I subbed in 6 tablespoons of real bacon bits which worked really well and I bought the fresh pineapple that was already cut to save some time.

This was a little acidic for my taste, but OK.

This dressing was a little oily I wouldn't put in the whole amount of olive oil maby 3/4. It was still wonderful despite that. The bacon and pineapple where delicious together. I loved it.

This was an awesome salad! It's so light and fresh tasting...it will be one of our frequent summer salads for sure. My husband and very picky daughter loved it! I followed the recipe exactly except I used a 1/2 cup pineapple juice for the vinaigrette and added 2 cut up tomatoes and extra toasted coconut. Taking it to work Monday for Nurses Week. Thanks for the great salad recipe!

At first, I thought that the vinaigrette was a little strange but once the flavors had some time to meld, we just LOVED it. I left out the bacon to cut back on cholesterol. Deliscious!

I knew from all the reviews that this would be a great recipe! It turned out fantastic! I took this to a Luau and it was a hit! I followed the ingredients exactly and loved it! I didn't use all the dressing on the salad, as it would have drenched the greens, but it was soo good as it was!

The dressing was a little runny but other than that it was pretty good.

I was completely shocked by this salad! I had a group of friends over and everyone loved it...even my husband who hates sweet foods. I was kind of wary about making it and even a friend of mine who cooks well was hesitant as I was making the vinaigrette...but it rocked! Toasting chopped macadamia nuts was very quick on the stove, and the coconut took like a minute to toast in the microwave...I forgot all about the green onions and it was fine. I was craving it so badly the next day that I made it again, only without nuts, and with canadian bacon and I used the green onions...and it was amazing again. Also, I used bagged salad, Spring Mix. And I put the bacon on a cookie sheet and baked it in the oven...crispy and less time consuming. Thanks for an awesome salad!

This salad was wonderful. My guests who normally skip salads, ate so much that I was only left with scraps. Next time I know to make much more, because they wanted to take some home.

This was pretty good. Our biggest problem was keeping everything cool since it was SO hot the day we made it. I used turkey bacon, but next time I'll use bacon bits instead of cooking bacon. We also used fresh pineapple, added a bit more juice to the dressing and used candied almond slices.

This is one of the *best* salads I have ever had! The only downfall is there is a lot of prep work in toasting the coconut and macadamia nuts, etc. But it is well worth it!

Oh wow. We've never really been a salad family. A salad to me is a bag of prechopped salad topped with store-bought Italian dressing. This was amazing, and both of my parents especially liked it. Fresh pineapple is a must, and I subbed toasted almonds, which I toasted a bit first, then added the coconut and finished toasting, and then through it in the mix. Light and tasty, but surprisingly filling.
