Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing

I don't know. The salad today was ok. The dressing is a little too sweet for me. My husband ate everything! I don't have a picture though. The battery in the camera finished and I need to recharge it.

that's how i made it:

1-Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppyseed Dressing

ingredients

· 1/4 cup white sugar

· 1/4 cup lemon juice

· 1 teaspoon diced onion

· 1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style prepared mustard

· 1/4 teaspoon salt

· 1/3 cup olive oil

· 1/2 tablespoon poppy seeds

· 1/2 head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces

· 2 ounces shredded swiss cheese

· 1/2 cup unsalted cashews

· 1/8 cup dried cranberries

· 1/2 apple- peeled, cored, and sliced

· 1/2 pear-peeled, cored, and sliced

Directions

1. In a blender or food processor, combine sugar, lemon juice, onion, mustard, and salt. Process until well blended. With machine still running, add oil in a slow, steady stream until mixture is thick and smooth. Add poppy seeds, and process just a few seconds more to mix.

2. In a large serving bowl, toss together the romaine lettuce, shredded Swiss cheese, cashews, dried cranberries, apple, and pear. Pour dressing over salad just before serving, and toss to coat.
