Pineapple Salad

2 1/2 C. chopped fresh pineapple, divided
2 Tbsp. champagne vinegar
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 C. extra virgin olive oil
5 oz. arugula
2 romaine lettuce hearts, chopped
6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

Blend 1/2 C. fresh pineapple, champagne vinegar, red pepper, salt and pepper until smooth. With blender running, drizzle in olive oil.
Toss dressing with 2 C. chopped fresh pineapple, arugula, and lettuce. Top with crumbled bacon.

Helpful tip: To check the ripeness of a pineapple, smell the base. It should smell sweet and fragrant.

  2. This luscious combo of fruit and veggie salad will not disappoint! Arugula is not easy to find and wilts quickly. I often leave it out & just add a little extra Romaine or some baby spinach instead.
