Ingredients

1/2 cup Chopped walnuts
1/4 cup Cranberries
1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar
1 cup Red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon White sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon-style prepared mustard
1 cup Vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
10 cups Mixed salad greens, rinsed and dried
2 Red Delicious apples, cored and thinly sliced

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the walnuts out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly toasted.

In a food processor, combine the cranberries, vinegar, onion, sugar, and mustard. Puree until smooth; gradually add oil, and season with salt and pepper.

In a salad bowl, toss together the greens, apples, and enough of the cranberry mixture to coat. Sprinkle with walnuts, and serve.
