Ingredients

  • 4 cups lettuce
  • 1 cup pineapple tidbits or freshly cut pineapple
  • 15 ounce can of mandarin oranges
  • 1/2 cup almond slivers or slices raw
  • 1/3 cup flaked unsweetened coconut
  • 2-3 green onions sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • Tropical Pineapple Dressing
  • PINEAPPLE DRESSING
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 2 T vegetable broth
  • 2 T lemon juice
  • 1 T honey or maple syrup
  • 1 T date sugar or cane sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt or salt substitute

Instructions

  • Chop the lettuce into small pieces I like use Romaine or a red leaf lettuce.
  • Thoroughly drain the pineapple and do the same with the mandarin oranges if you're using canned ones. Or you can use fresh mandarins. Just peel and cut up the segments in 2-3 pieces.
  • Add the fruit to the lettuce. Then mix in the nuts and the coconut. Finely chop the green onions and bell peppers and add to the salad mix.
  • Add the dressing to individual salad bowls rather than the entire salad. This will prevent the salad from getting soggy.
