2 heads romaine lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
4 oz swiss cheese, shredded
1 C cashews
1/4 C dried cranberries
2 apple, peeled, cored, diced
2 pears, peeled, cored and sliced (save one for tomorrow)
Instructions
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.
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.
