Instructions

  1. In a small blender (or food processor), combine the sugar, lemon juice, onion, mustard, and salt. Process until smooth. Add in oil and poppy seeds. Blend until creamy. Refrigerate dressing until ready to serve.
  2. In a large salad bowl, add torn pieces of fresh Romaine lettuce. Top with apples, pear, cheese, cashews, and dried cranberries.
  3. When ready to serve, toss with fresh lemon poppy seed dressing and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust to your liking. This salad is super versatile. Love apples? Add more! Not a fan of cashews? Swap them out. You can play with the recipe and make this your own.
  • Make it less sweet. Opt for a more tart apple to cut down on the sweetness a bit. You can also reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing to suit your taste if you want a less sweet dressing.
  • Go semi-homemade. The homemade dressing is super quick and easy to make, but we won't tell if you want to swap in a store-bought salad dressing instead.
