Tropical Salad With Pineapple Vinaigarette

Recipe #303086 | 10 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: mykidslightmylife

I had a similar salad at Sweet Tomatoes, but this one is even better. I found a recipe online at Allrecipes, but tweaked it to my own tastes. Toasting the coconut and macadamia nuts is important!
