My mom sent me some great salad recipes from Will's mom. We had this salad at Will's graduation party. I made the sonoma salad a few weeks ago, and it is sooo good! I ate it for a week straight!
Dressing...
1 c sugar
2 tsp dried mustard powder
2 tsp salt
3/4 c white wine vinegar
3 Tbs grated onion with juice
2 c vegetable oil
3 Tbs poppy seeds
Place onion in food processor and process until liquid. Measure out 3 Tbs and discard the rest. Add sugar, mustard, salt, and vinegar. Turn on machine and add the oil in a slow steady stream until the dressing becomes thick. Add the poppy seeds.
Candied Nuts...
2 large egg whites
1 c brown sugar
4 c pecans or walnuts (i used pecans)
Preheat oven to 350. Whisk egg whites. Fold in brown sugar. Fold in nuts. Stir to coat well and transfer in a single layer to a greased cookie sheet. Bake in oven for a bout 12-15 minutes or until nicely browned. Allow to cool and break into small clusters.
To finish the salad, mix together...

3 cups cored, seeded, and diced red apples
