Craisin Salad


Salad:

1 head romaine lettuce, torn into medium sized pieces
2 whole green onions, chopped
1 C craisins
1/4 C sliced almonds
1/2 C diced celery
1 medium chopped avocado

Dressing:
1/4 C vegetable oil
2 T cider vinegar
2 T granulated sugar
1/2 t salt
1/4 t black or white pepper

1. Heat dressing ingredients until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly.
2. Cool dressing.
3. Mix salad ingredients.
4. Just before serving pour dressing over salad and toss well.
5. Serve and enjoy.

*I got this recipe off of www.recipezaar.com . When I did it I needed it for a large group, so I doubled the salad part and tripled the dressing so it would be plenty juicy! It is so yummy. What I love is that it doesn't have a heavy taste like when you use store bought salad dressing, so you feel like it is healthier (and I am sure it probably is)!
