Cranberry Pear Salad

For some reason I really enjoy this salad in the fall time. But don't get me wrong it is good any time of the year.

It is hearty, flavorful, sweet and salty...an all around great mix!

The other night I served it with some Italian Grilled Chicken...gotta get in some grilling while it is still do-able.

INGREDIENTS:
1 Large Head, Green Leaf or Romaine Lettuce {or bagged works just as well!!!}
1/2 Cup Craisins
1 Pear, Cubed
1 Apple, Cubed
1 Cup Swiss Cheese, Shredded
1 Cup Cashews

Dressing:
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 teaspoons Chopped Onions, or dehydrated
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Poppy Seeds
1/3 Cup Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
2/3 Cup Olive Oil

DIRECTIONS:
Mix all salad ingredients together.

Pour the needed amount of dressing over the top.

ENJOY!

My Cooking/Baking Switch...

...has been flipped back ON!

I think

between the busy-ness of motherhood

&

the HEAT and speed of summer,

cooking/baking/eating at home was definitely put on the back burner!

But I'm feeling the need for some good home cookin'!

{Thank you seasons...for changing and inspiring me...I know my husband thanks you too!}
