Greens with Cranberry Poppyseed Dressing

I am always on the look-out for new salad/dressing recipes. This is pretty similar to another recipe that I already make but it was quick and easy to put together. I served it with the omelette folds.

Greens with Cranberry Poppy Seed Dressing

6 cups torn mixed salad greens
1/4 cup toasted chopped pecans

Cranberry Poppy Seed Dressing
1/4 cup coarsely chopped dried cranberries
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tsp poppy seeds
pinch each salt, pepper and granulated sugar

Cranberry Poppy Seed Dressing: In large bowl, wisk together cranberries, oil, vinegar, poppy seeds, salt, pepper and sugar.

-> Add salad greens and toss to coat. Sprinkle with pecans.

Makes 4 servings

Comments:
-> I used red wine vinegar for this as well
-> had toaste pine nuts and so I used them instead of pecans- I think the pecans would have added more flavour
-> I would guess that this would serve closer to 3 people, but suppose that depends on how much salad you like to eat, as well as how much dressing you like on your salad.
