Fruity Green Salad image

My family enjoys this fast and refreshing salad. It's jazzed up with a beautiful blend of red apple, pear, dried cranberries, toasted pecans and Swiss cheese. No matter when I serve it, the light dressing and fruity flavor remind me of springtime. -Helen Petisi, Palm Coast, Florida

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of sweet and tangy flavors was perfect, and the crunch from the nuts and seeds added a nice texture.
