Tropical Salad with Pineapple Vinegarette

Loved this one! I am always ready to try new salads...one I am going to try to make that was so refreshing as well, is the watermelon goat cheese salad from Panera. It was sooo very yummy. I think I would make it with feta though....Goat cheese can get kinda stinky for my taste, but Panera's was mildly good...

6 strips of bacon fried, drained, and crumbled
1/4 c pineapple juice
3 T red wine vinegar
1/4 c olive oil
1 pkg. romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
1/2 c almonds, toasted and chopped
3 green onions, chopped
1/4 c flaked coconut, toasted
salt and pepper to taste

In covered jar, combine pineapple juice, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. Cover and shake well.
In large bowl, toss lettuce, pineapple, almonds, green onions, and bacon.
Pour dressing over salad and toss.
