Mandarin-Cashew Tossed Salad with Honey Lime Dressing

I love this salad!
The honey lime dressing is fabulous and really makes this salad.

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 c. torn red leaf lettuce
  • 2-1/2 c. torn romaine lettuce
  • 1-1/2 c. torn Boston lettuce
  • 11 oz. can mandarin oranges, well drained
  • 1/2 c. chopped green pepper
  • small celery rib, thinly sliced
  • 1/8 c. chopped red onion
  • 1 c. honey roasted cashews

Honey Lime Dressing

  • 1/4 c. canola oil
  • 1/8 c. honey
  • 1/4 t. ground mustard
  • 1/4 t. grated lime zest
  • 1/8 t. paprika
  • pinch of salt
  • dash of white pepper

Instructions

In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuces, oranges, green pepper, celery and onion.

Dressing: In a small bowl, combine oil, honey, mustard, lime zest, paprika, salt and pepper; mix well. Drizzle over salad. Refrigerate leftovers, but to use again you will need to microwave a few seconds to get honey soft; whisk until smooth.

Add cashews and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
