Craisin Salad


I say yes to anything with cashews and feta cheese in it! The recipe for the dressing comes from an old neighborhood cookbook I have. Other than the dressing ingredients, I don't really measure anything else. Just use your best judgement--and enjoy!

Salad:

Leafy greens--Fill a large bowl with your favorites (I usually use almost a whole head of romaine and some baby spinach)
2 crisp apples, thinly sliced
1/2 cup (or more) dried cranberries (craisins)
1/2 cup (or more) cashews
Feta cheese (however much looks good!)

Dressing:
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 1/2 Tbs lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbs onions, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup canola oil
1 1/2 tsp poppy seeds

Toss the salad ingredients together, then mix dressing ingredients together in a blender. Drizzle dressing over the salad, toss it, and serve immediately.
