Autumn Salad

Mom, and Alisa...and anyone else who would like to make this most wonderful salad...

This is the salad Rob and I made for our guests on Easter.  

It's a recipe from Danny Ainge's wife (just an interesting trivia fact).

It is seriously so good.  Rob said he could eat it everyday-which is saying a lot.

Autumn Salad:

Salad:
-your choice of lettuce (I used a romaine mixture that came in a plastic container)
-1 diced tart apple
-2 sliced pears
-crasins
-toasted pecans (I used candied walnuts)
-shaved fresh Parmesan, feta, or goat cheese (I used goat)
-(chicken if you wish to make it an entree)

Dressing (This makes a lot.  I halved it, and still had extra)
-1 cup sugar
-3/4 cup raspberry vinegar or red wine vinegar
-2 t. salt
-2 Tbsp prepared mustard
-2 Tbsp poppy seeds
-1/2 red onion
-1 1/2 cup oil

Puree in blender
