This light, homemade dressing adds subtle flavor to this simple, fruity salad. Very refreshing.

Ingredients

  • 5 C. mixed greens, herbs and lettuce
  • 1/4 lb. blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1 red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 1/3 C. coarsely chopped walnuts
  • Dressing:
  • 1 C. fresh cranberries
  • 1 seedless navel orange, peeled and sectioned
  • 2/3 C. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 C. wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp. ground mustard
  • 1 C. olive or vegetable oil

Directions

In a blender, combine the cranberries, orange sections, sugar, vinegar, salt, and ground mustard. Process till combined. Then remove the blender cover and gradually add oil in a steady stream. Set aside.

Rip all of the greens into bite size pieces. I like using an assortment of spring or baby greens along with romaine lettuce, spinach and herbs such as sprigs of dill, basil, and cilantro. To assemble place a handful of the salad mix on a plate or in a bowl, and top with some of the cheese and the walnuts. Pass the dressing to guests to drizzle over the salad.
