This salad has the perfect blend of fruit with the apples, pears, and dried cranberries. The salty cashews also balance out the sweetness. If desired, an equal amount of shredded Swiss cheese may be substituted for shaved. Top with grilled chicken and turn this salad into a main course.
This is delicious! I served it with a choice of Trader Joe's Pear Champaign Vinaigrette or a homemade Orange Vinegar (Trader Joe's) and oil with additional orange juice.

Read MoreThis salad is so good! I've made it as written and also as a spinach salad and both were fantastic! The dressing and the combination of flavors is out of this world! We substituted grated parmesan for the swiss cheese because that's what we had on hand one time and that was great too!

This is great as a side item with any dish but can be eaten alone as a light meal. It is also a very pretty salad. I made it for a Christmas meal with the red apples and green pears.
