PINEAPPLE VINAIGRETTE



Pineapple Vinaigrette image

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.
