Winter Fruit Salad with a Lemon and Poppy Seed Dressing*
1 pound	cos lettuce hearts, washed, dried and torn into bits
	Romaine lettuce, 16 ounces, optional
6 ounces	emmenthal cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler (Swiss cheese)
150g	roasted salted cashew nuts,, (1 cup)
75g	sweetened dried cranberries,, (1/2 cup)
1 large	eating apple, washed, cored and thinly sliced
1 large	ripe pear, washed, cored and thinly sliced
For the Dressing:
95g	white sugar,, (1/2 cup)
125ml	fresh lemon juice,, (1/2 cup)
2 tsp	finely grated onion
1 tsp	Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp	salt
150ml	salad oil,, (2/3 cup)
1 TBS	poppy seeds

(This will make more dressing than you need, but you can store it in the refrigerator and
use it for other salads.)
To make the dressing, shake all of the dressing ingredients together in a large jar until emulsified. Set aside.
Toss the lettuce, cheese, nuts, cranberries, apple slices and pear slices together in a bowl. Divide amongst chilled serving plates. Give the dressing a good shake again and drizzle some of the dressing over the salads. Pass remaining dressing so that people can top it up as need be on their own salads.
