Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppyseed dressing

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons diced onion ( I used less)
• 1 teaspoon Dion-style prepared mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon poppy seed
• 1 head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
• 4 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
• 1 cup cashews
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1 apple-peeled, cored and diced
• 1 pear-peeled cored and sliced

Instructions

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.
