    My family always requests that I make this salad for get-togethers. It's light and very good; everyone goes back for seconds. —Bryan Braack, Eldridge, Iowa

    Ingredients:
    10 cups torn romaine
    2 medium red apples, cubed
    2 medium pears, cubed
    1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
    1/2 cup dried cranberries


    6 tablespoons lemon juice
    3 tablespoons canola oil
    3 tablespoons light corn syrup
    1-1/2 teaspoons grated onion
    1-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup chopped lightly salted cashews

    Directions:
    1. In a salad bowl, combine the first five ingredients.

    For dressing, in a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, oil, corn syrup, onion, mustard and salt. Pour over romaine mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with cashews.
