Christmas Tossed Salad

The perfect salad to serve at you holiday dinner table --- if desired 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 but do not toss in the apples until before serving or they tend to discolour, also do not add in the dressing until serving time, if you are serving more than 8 people double the recipe :)

This is the 3rd year I am coming back to this recipe for a great Christmas salad. The dressing is EXCELLENT and I don't change a thing!!<br/>I will be mixing up the greens this year and trying it as a chopped salad and will include walnuts, celery, whole dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and of course the apples, with a base of chopped kale and baby spinach. I know it will be a huge hit at our table of 20.Reply
