Note: Our GEMS mentor mom, Julie, served this at a leadership Christmas dinner last year. It was an instant hit. After asking Julie, we learned that the recipe came from her friend, Tammy, who has served this salad every year at her family reunion because of it's popularity.
1 head of lettuce
½ bag spinach
4 sm or 2 lg apples—slice and soak in lemon juice. Drain. Add to salad just before serving.
½ pound baby Swiss cheese, grated (Buy a chunk from the deli.)
1 (12-14 oz) can whole cashews
Dressing:
¾ C sugar
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1/3 C cider vinegar
1 T chopped onion
Slowly add 1 C salad oil to above ingredients. Then add 1-1/2 T poppy seeds.
Make dressing three hours ahead and refrigerate.
Add sliced, cooked strips of chicken breast to make a lunch entrée.
