Serves 12

3 Romaine lettuce hearts, cut up

4 Cashews

¾ Cup Craisins

2 Apples, cut up

2 Pears, cut up

4 oz (1 cup) Swiss Cheese, cubed or grated

Cooked Turkey or Chicken (optional)

(I used ½ of the already cooked whole turkey breast found at Costco- probably was about 2 cups of cut up meat) The original recipe did not have the meat in it.)

Dressing

¾ Cup Canola oil

2/3 Cup Sugar (I did not use quite that much sugar)

1 Tbs Red onion finely grated

1 ½ tsp salt

2 Tbs Poppy Seeds

1 tsp Ground Mustard

1/3 Cup fresh Lemon Juice
