APPLE AND PEAR SALAD 
I received this recipe from a co-worker of mine many years ago, and it has become a favorite at many "potlucks" and with my family.

1 large head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
1 apple, cubed with skin left on
1 pear, cubed with skin left on
1 cup sliced almonds
4 oz. shredded Swiss cheese
6 oz. package Craisins

Mix all salad ingredients together.

LEMON POPPY SEED DRESSING:

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp. finely chopped onions
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. poppy seeds
2/3 cup olive oil

Mix all dressing ingredients together and incorporate with salad. Make sure entire salad is coated with dressing.

The dressing holds up for quite some time on the salad, so it is easy to do in advance.
