KELLYMAC'S CRANBERRY WALNUT SALAD
This is a delicious salad that is great in the fall or winter. I serve with a balsamic vinagrette dressing. I particularly like Recipe #154351 . This is very easy to make but guests are usually impressed because it is a little more exciting than your standard garden salad.

Steps:
- 1. To toast the walnuts, preheat oven to 375 F. Arrange walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the walnuts begin to brown. 2. In a large bowl or separate serving bowls, toss together spinach, cranberries, cheese, tomato, avocado, and red onion. 3. Combine raspberry jam and red wine vinegar in a food processor. With the motor running slowly add in the oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (This can be done by hand with a whisk but the dressing will easily separate.) Drizzle dressing over the salad and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, seasonal ingredients: This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor and nutrients.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different greens: There are many different types of greens that you can use in a salad, so don't be afraid to mix and match to find your favorite combination.
- Add some crunch: Nuts, seeds, and crispy vegetables like carrots, celery, and cucumbers can add a nice crunch to your salad.
- Don't forget the dressing: A good dressing can really make or break a salad. Try making your own dressing using fresh herbs, olive oil, and vinegar.
- Serve your salad immediately: Salads are best when they're served fresh. If you're making a salad ahead of time, store the dressing separately and add it just before serving.
