1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. minced onion
1/3 c. red wine vinegar
1 c. salad oil
1 1/2 tbsp. poppy seeds

SALAD:

Mixed crisp salad greens (spinach, leaf, and Iceberg is a good combination)
Crisp apple cubes
Cashew nuts
Cubes of cheese (Havarti, Muenster, Mozzarella, or Swiss)

Dressing: In blender or food processor, combine sugar, mustard, salt, onion, and vinegar; blend thoroughly. Add salad oil and poppy seeds and mix slightly. Chill.

Salad: Combine salad greens, apple cubes, nuts, and cheese cubes in large bowl. Toss with the dressing and serve immediately.

Note: This dressing is best used in small quantities to enhance rather than overpower the salad ingredients. This salad is also great in the summer with strips of grilled chicken breasts on top.
