This salad not only is delicious it makes a beautiful addition to your holiday table!

I like also like to place slices of red onion rings around the sides of the bowl, the salad mixture may be mixed covered tightly with plastic wrap hours ahead omitting in the apples as they tend to darken just mix in the apples and dressing just before serving, you may want to double the amounts if you are serving more than 8 people

Servings 6-8

Ingredients:

DRESSING:

1 cup cranberries (preferably fresh)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup apple juice concentrate
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 cup vegetable oil oil (do not use olive oil)

SALAD:

1 (10 ounce) package mixed salad greens
1 medium red apple, unpeeled and diced
1 medium Granny Smith, unpeeled and diced
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (or use 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese)
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup slivered toasted almond (can use more)

Instructions:—————————————–

For the dressing; in a blender or food processor combine the cranberries, sugar, vinegar, apple juice concentrate, salt and mustard; cover and process until smooth.
Slowly add in the oil in a small steady stream (at this point you may refrigerate until ready to use, shake before using).
For the salad; place all salad ingredients in a bow then toss to combine.
Before serving drizzle the dressing over the salad.
