Pina Colada Salad

 My friend made this salad for dinner when we were at their house and I LOVED it and have made it for so many of my family and friends. 

1-2 heads green leaf or Romaine lettuce, chopped
1 1/2 c. fresh pineapple, cut in chunks
1 container blueberries
1 c. strawberries, sliced
1 c. toasted coconut
1/2 c. macadamia nuts, chopped 
Assemble salad in a large bowl. 
Vinaigrette:
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. pina colada drink mix
1/3 c. apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 t. dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/4 c. vegetable oil

In a blender combine all ingredients except oil, after blended, slowly add oil until well incorporated. 

Add vinaigrette to salad and toss to combine or serve vinaigrette on the side.

*You can always add or subtract things from this recipe. I don't always add both strawberries and blueberries, sometimes just one, but always fresh pineapple. It's also good to substitute raspberries, blackberries, or sliced almonds.
