CORNUCOPIA SALAD

This is a crowd pleaser! I haven't met anyone who doesn't like this salad.


CORNUCOPIA SALAD
From the Ivory family’s “Favorites” recipe book

• 1/4 C slivered almonds
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 head green leaf lettuce, torn into pieces
• 1 head Romaine lettuce, torn into pieces
• 1 C chopped celery
• 1 (11-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
• 2 avocados, cut into chunks
• 2 apples, diced
• 1/2 C dried cranberries
• 1/2 C crumbled blue choose

Dressing:

• 1/2 C sugar
• 1 tsp grated onion
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 C  vegetable oil
• 1/2 C apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp dry mustard
• 3/4 tsp poppy seeds

Combine dressing ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.  Carmelize slivered
almonds by mixing with sugar in a small skillet and stirring constantly over low heat
until lightly browned.  Spread on foil to cool, then break into pieces.  (Carmelzing
the almonds is one step you can skip if you don’t have time.)  Toss salad ingredients,
almonds and dressing just prior to serving.
