Linda's Notes:
When it is 100 degrees in the shade, who wants to cook? But everyone needs dinner; this is quick, easy and tastes like a gourmet salad from a ***** star eatery!

Comments from the Test Kitchen:
We love, love, love this salad. The dressing is the real star here, with an awesomely delicious flavor. Linda calls for canned chicken in her recipe, but we like using leftover rotisserie chicken instead. Either way is terrific! Directions
Layer lettuce, chicken, strawberries, oranges, cucumbers, nuts, then red onion unto 3-4 serving plates. Set aside.
Mix and shake oil, lemon juice, mustard, sugar, salt and poppy seeds. Drizzle on each salad to taste. Top with shredded Swiss Cheese.

Serve with crusty Italian Bread; be sure you have enough to dip in the remaining dressing/just cannot resist!
