Directions:Vinaigrette
Combine the vinaigrette ingredients in a b lender or food processor. Whirl until the cranberries are finely minced and suspended in the dressing. Set aside.
Salad
Tear the salad greens into bite-sized pieces and arrange on individual plates or on a large platter. Toss the pear slices and lemon juice together in a bowl to evenly coat the pears and prevent discoloration. Arrange them on the greens. Top with the turnip slices and sprinkle on the cranberries. Finish with the crumbled cheese. Shake or stir the vinaigrette. Drizzle in evenly over the salad just before serving. I sometimes put everything but the cheese in a salad bowl and toss with the vinaigrette and put the cheese on top. Be sure the vinaigrette is thoroughly mixed. |

Notes: The first time I had craisins in a lettuce salad I thought it was strange. Now I always add them if I have them and I usually do. This is the only dish that I will eat turnips in.
