This salad is delicious, and the ingredients can be found any time of year. Try it with a pear in place of the apple too.

Toss together lettuce, apple and onion in a large salad bowl. Drizzle with desired amount of Sherry Dressing; toss to coat. Top with remaining ingredients. Serves 4.

3/4 c. olive oil

3 T. sherry wine vinegar

3 T. lemon juice

1 T. Dijon mustard

Whisk together all ingredients; pour into a covered jar. Keep refrigerated; shake before using.

Make a frosty pitcher of strawberry lemonade! In a tall pitcher, combine a 12-ounce can of frozen lemonade concentrate, a 10-ounce package of frozen strawberries and 4-1/2 cups of cold water. Let stand until berries thaw, then stir well. Wonderful!
