Category: Fruit Salads

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

Salad:
1 (10 oz) pkg 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)

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.
