I do not know where I got this recipe from so my apologies to someone for not being able to give them credit. I did make a few modifications from the original and served it twice over the Holidays - giving out a few copies of the recipe. My husband is not a big fan of salad, especially with an oil and vinegar dressing, but he had seconds and cleaned up the bowl later.
10 cups mixed baby greens and spinach
1 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
1 medium tart apple cubed
1 pear cubed
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup cashews
_________________________________
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 T lemon juice
2 T onions diced
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup oil (I used vegetable)
1 tsp poppy seeds
I added a bit of the dressing to the cashews to coat before adding them to the salad. The rest of the ingredients you sprinkle on, drizzle on the dressing and toss. Looks very pretty and tastes even better.

This sounds awesome and my daughter makes something pretty similar but not with the shredded cheese. I think the homemade dressing makes a HUGE difference. BACK WHEN I had time to eat healthier I would make my own dressing using flaxseed oil. Everyone would love it as well.

Diane - Thanks!
I thought I would put a little color in the New Year.
I too love salads.
Your salad sounds great, I love fruit and cheese in my green salad. I'll give a try and I might use dried cherries since I prefer them over cranberries. Thanks.
I make wilted lettuce all the time without even trying -it just gets that way in the fridge. You do that on purpose? LOL
Horsie hugs back at you!!!
Kathleen, What an interestingrecipe... think I will bring it to our next pot luck!
