Martha's Poppy Seed Salad

I think this is a great summer recipe for salads! I got it from my sis-in-law Martha, and whenever I make it I always get compliments.

Dressing (makes quite a bit!)
Combine in a processor:
1 slice red onion
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 cup oil
1 Tbs. poppy seeds.

Salad
Spring mix, or red leaf lettuce
3/4 cup caramelized slivered almonds. (put in a small pan on medium low heat, add a few spoonfuls of sugar, and stir frequently until sugar melts and almonds are toasted.)
1 cup craisins
1 apple diced, or pears, or you could use bananas.

Dress salad and enjoy!
