When I was a teenager, I did all the cooking for my family of 10. I came up with this recipe when I was partway through making a different salad and discovered I didn't have all the ingredients. Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
1-1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds |
4 medium apples, diced |
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained |
1 large carrot, grated |
1/2 cup raisins |
lettuce leaves, optional |
Directions:
1. For dressing, combine the sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel and poppy seeds in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine the apples, oranges, carrot and raisins. Add dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours. Serve in a lettuce-lined bowl if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
