The ingredients for Apple Craisin Lettuce Salad are:

Salad:
2 (10 oz) pkgs romaine hearts (already chopped)
1 (6 oz) pkg or 1 1/2 cups original Craisins (sweetened dried cranberries)
1 1/2 cups salted cashews (a small can is about the right amount)
1 large apple, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
1 (8 oz) pkg shredded swiss cheese (you can substitute mozzarella)

Dressing:
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp poppy seeds

Here is how you make Apple Craisin Lettuce Salad:

Toss all salad ingredients together in a large bowl (I use the huge Tupperware mixing bowl). In a separate bowl combine all ingredients for dressing. (I use the Tupperware shaker to combine the dressing ingredients - the one that you use to mix flour or cornstarch with water when you're making gravy.) Just before serving, toss salad with the dressing.*Do not add dressing until just before serving so the romaine doesn't get wilty! You can make the dressing ahead of time, but make sure the dressing is at room temperature before adding to salad - the olive oil tends to solidify somewhat in the refrigerator.Makes approximately 40 (1/2 cup) servings.Number of Servings: 40Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KARIDAVIES.
