Instructions
THE DRIED FRUIT ADDS TEXTURE TO THE DRESSING AND FLAVOR TO THE SALAD. DRIED APRICOTS INSTEAD OF THE CHERRIES IN THE DRESSING AND SALAD WOULD ADD A BOOST OF BETA-CAROTENE.
1. TO make the dressing: Place the orange juice and dried cherries or cranberries in a microwaveable bowl. Heat until warm, about 30 seconds. Add the oil and vinegar. Blend or process until smooth but slightly chunky. Refrigerate.
2. TO make the salad: Toss the mesclun or lettuce, apples, turkey or salmon, walnuts, onion, blue cheese, and dried cherries or cranberries in a large bowl. Add the dressing.
