Reviews
This salad is easy and fresh. I didn't have pines nuts so I used a bag of cranberry and walnuts that can be found I. The salad topped section of the grocery store. I used a half gala apple and a bag of prepared romaine lettuce. I loved the dressing and only needed half for my salad. I skipped the food processor to save some clean-up and it turned out great. I just whisked the dressing up in the morning and stored it in the fridge until I was ready to use (if you do this shake it up or re-whisk before adding to salad). My family loved this salad and I will be making again. Maybe I'll try it with pears next time.
