For a truly tropical experience, use freshly grilled pineapple instead of canned. The smoky char adds a delightful depth of flavor. If macadamia nuts are unavailable, toasted almonds or pecans make excellent substitutes. Make the vinaigrette ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just be sure to shake it well before using. Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier salad that can serve as a light meal.
