Fresh romaine is gorgeous, isn't it? The only lettuce prettier is Bibb.
Lucy's Salad
1 large head of fresh romaine
1 C cashew halves
1 C shredded swiss cheese
1/2 C craisins
1 ripe pear, peeled and chopped*
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and chopped
Dressing:
1/2 C sugar
1 t dijon mustard
1/3 C oil
1/3 C lemon juice
1/2 t salt
1 T poppy seeds
Ready to assemble!
This salad tastes sweet, with a bit of tart from the apples and craisins. Perfection!
*I buy any type of pear that I can find that is soft and ripe. Usually Anjou pears, but I'll take a Bartlett if they are softer.

Oh mah goodness! That looks heavenly. I made a great salad this weekend too. Might have to post the recipe!
That is right up my alley!
Have you tried Sunset Grill's Sonoma Salad? KIND of similar. YUM!
Jill - You should! It's nice to find salad recipes that people have tried and you know will be great.
mudmama - My favorite salad in Nashville is Green Hills Grille's signature salad - baby bibb lettuce, slivered almonds, shredded swiss, and homemade honey mustard dressing. So simple and perfect! I need to replicate it home actually.

I love pears, walnuts, cranberries and apples in salads.
This is SO getting bookmarked! That dressing sounds nommy.
I"m so glad you do this, I love seeing your concoctions every Monday :-)
That looks fab and I do need to step away from the predictable salad routine. Thanks!
sounds delicious was curious as to the name glad you explained that
YUM! I do one that is similar and it's a staple at our house! There isn't much that beats a homemade salad dressing.
That sounds amazing!
p.s. one of my favorite blogs I first discovered was Jr. League Dropout...she's since moved on to another blog but I loved that name!
My mouth literally was watering by the time I reached the last photo. Fruit in salads -- yes. I'll be making this SOON. Thanks!
Looks deliciously divine!
