Serves 4
- Chicken, one pound chopped into bite sized pieces. Marinade in pineapple juice for a few hours and then cook.
- 1 Head Romaine Lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 of a Red Bell Pepper, diced
- 1/2 of a Yellow Bell Pepper, diced
- Pineapple, one can drained with juice reserved to use as a marinade for the chicken and to use in the vinaigrette
- Mango, peeled and sliced into bite sized pieces
- Mandarin Oranges, one can rinsed and drained *I realized after the fact that oranges are not part of the original salad but they were really good.
- Toasted Coconut & Macadamia Nuts - Pulse the macadamia in a food processor slightly. Mix with coconut and toast in the oven, just barely. Watch closely. The results will be worth it, so yummy!
- Won ton Strips - Using about a tablespoon of coconut oil, cut won ton dough into strips and fry until done. Sprinkle these onto salad.
Pineapple Vinaigrette Dressing
(adapted from Oh She Glows)
1 cup pineapple (fresh or canned)
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup lime juice (I used canned but fresh is preferable)
1 T coconut oil, melted
1/4 t salt
Blend and shake before using. Next time I make this recipe I will be attempting to use caramelized pineapple since that's what they use at Zupas. I'll make modifications to this recipe if it turns out well, otherwise this dressing was absolutely delicious.
