PINEAPPLE VINAIGRETTE

From Paula Deen. Cooking time is chilling time. We are pineapple lovers so want to try this. Suggesting it be served on Recipe#413006. This makes more than you need and she also suggests serving it on a tossed salad composed of salad greens, cucumbers, red bell pepper, grape tomatoes, and radishes but think it would be great on the shrimp salad. I see that my juice can is for 6 ounces so suggest that you reduce the recipe to 1 cup yield if you are working with snack juice cans.

Serve on a bed of green in a hollowed out pineapple half with crackers for an appetizer, in a wrap or on your favorite bread with lettuce and tomatoes. You won't need much mayo because of the juiciness of the pineapple distributes moisture keeping the fat down.

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!
