This refreshing salad has a mildly tangy dressing that would complement most any entree. After enjoying a similar salad at a restaurant, I tried to re-create it at home. Adding sliced grilled chicken makes it a meal in itself.—Vickie Madrigal, Shreveport, Louisiana

<p>Made this with fresh Pineapple and used a can of pineapple juice for the dressing. I used mixed field greens instead of romaine I thought this was a very good salad and will make again.</p>

this salad was ok. The onions and pineapple went well together. To me the soy sauce stood out a little more then I wanted it to. Maybe if the flavors sit together longer it helps not sure though. I only refridgerated it for about 10-15 min. I will make it again but I feel like it is missing something maybe sunflower seeds or chow mein noodles would be a good additon.
