Go buy yourself some pina colada drink mixer and make this. I'm not gonna tell you twice!
3 romaine lettuce hearts, chopped
2 cans mandarin oranges, drained
1 can pineapple tidbits, drained
toasted almonds
coconut
3-4 grilled chicken breasts cubed (*optional to make this salad a meal)
Toss all of the ingredients together. Serve with Pina Colada Vinaigrette dressing.
PINA COLADA VINAIGRETTE
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. sugar
1/3 cup pina colada drink mix
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. ginger powder
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
In a blender combine all ingredients except the oil. Blend well until light and frothy. With the blender still on, slowly add oil in a steady stream. Keep blending until the dressing is emulsified and thickened. (This will make a lot. Store extra in the fridge).

I'm going to make this today! Thanks!
I DID make this today and it did not disappoint! Too bad it wasn't all that much sunny out and I couldn't sip a pina colada with it as I basked in the golden sunshine!
Thanks so much for sharing this one!
Glad you liked it! It is one of our new favorites. You can toast the coconut which we usually prefer but for some reason, in this salad the untoasted coconut adds extra sweetness that we really like.
