2 Tbls. Dijon mustard
1/2 t. salt
1/3 c. fresh lemon juice
1 Tbls. poppy seeds

Instructions

There are 2 dressing choices. Make dressing the night before. Put all ingredients in a small food processor and blend well for a couple of seconds. You will have leftover dressing, but it will keep about a week in the refrigerator.

To assemble salad, combine lettuce, cashews, apple, pear, dried cranberries and cheese. Pour dressing over all and toss to coat.
