This is a favorite salad recipe of my family - very simple sometimes I use navel oranges, ham strips of chicken and pecans or candied walnuts, sesame seeds,sunflower seeds or slivered almonds too!

How To Make cheesy fruit salad

Step 1

Arrange greens, oranges and cheese in a salad bowl or place on individual plates. --- Heat preserves in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted. Remove from heat.

Step 2

When preserves have cooled a little, pour into a mason jar along with the oil, vinegar and onion, cover jar and shake well. Pour over salad and toss lightly. Very refreshing! Keep any leftover dressing in refrigerator.
