Pina Colada Salad

3 romaine lettuce hearts, chopped
2 large cans mandarin oranges, well drained
1 large can pineapple tidbits, well drained
1/2 red onion diced
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
3-4 chicken breasts, cooked, cooled and cubed
toasted coconut, optional
Toss all of the ingredients together in a large bowl or layer on a platter. Serve with Pina Colada Vinaigrette Dressing.

Pina Colada Vinaigrette Dressing
1/2 cup plus 2 TBSP sugar
1/3 to 1/2 cup Mr. & Mrs. T's Pina Colada Drink Mix
1/3 cup rice vinegar (or use apple cider vinegar for a stronger taste.)
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp dry mustard
1 1/4 cup vegetable oil

In a blender combine all ingredients except the oil. Blend well until light and frothy. With the blender still on, slowly add oil in a steady stream. Keep blending until the dressing is emulsified and thickened.
