Merry Berry Salad

I first tried this when  looking for 'pink' foods for our  summer Flamingo Fry party, and  we've  enjoyed it many times since.  Dried cranberries, crunchy apple chunks and toasted almonds dress up this crisp green salad. It's drizzled with a sweet-tart   pink dressing that's  easy and delicious.  The name refers to the red and green colors of the apples, if you're looking for a Christmas-y salad you might try this.

1 package (10 ounces) mixed salad greens

1 medium red apple, diced
1 medium green apple, diced
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

DRESSING:
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup thawed apple juice concentrate
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon grated onion
1 cup canola oil

In a large salad bowl, toss the first six ingredients.  In a blender, combine the cranberries, sugar, vinegar, apple juice concentrate, salt, mustard and onion; cover and process until blended. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream.
Drizzle  some  dressing over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately. Refrigerate  leftover dressing.  Serves 10.
