Favorite Salad

I am having a christmas brunch this week for my visiting teachers and I went looking for my favorite salad recipe and I could not believe I didn't have a single salad on my blog! this one I got from Louise Hill years ago- I call it Louise's Salad:
Romaine Lettuce- I use half spinach
Crasina
feta cheese
Cut up apple, pear or strawberries
pecans or pine nuts
sliced red onion

Amy Moffat's Dressing:
1/2c sugar
1 t dry mustard
3/4t salt
1/4c red wine vinegar
Blend these ingredients in a blender, sloly add 3 T chopped bermuda onion(1/4)
Slowly add 1/2 c oil- I use olive oil. Blend unitl frothy and refrigerate
I double the dressing then I have extra.
