I had this recipe at a work functions and I fell in love with it. The homemade dressing is amazing. It is really simple to made and can be used on any type of salad. I also omitted the pear and added more apple.
Dressing:
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. lemon juice
2 tsp. diced onion
1 tsp. Dijon-style prepared mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 c. vegetable oil
1 tbsp. poppy seeds
1 head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
4 oz. shredded Swiss cheese
1 c. cashews
1/4 c. dried cranberries
1 apple - peeled, cored and diced
1 pear - peeled, cored and diced
1. In a blend 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 think and smooth. Add poppy seeds and process just a few seconds more to mix.
2. In a large serving bowl combine the romaine lettuce, shredded Swiss cheese, cashews, dried cranberries, cubed apple and pear. Toss to mix then pour dressing over salad just before serving and toss to coat.
