As a Longaberger consultant I used to go to Longaberger and Dresden often, and constantly looked for new recipes to use at parties. This one was one that I got on one of the trips. It is amazing, but I don't add the poppy seeds since I don't like them personally!

How To Make cashew salad

  • 1
    Make dressing 3 hours ahead and refrigerate. Slice and cut apples into bite sized pieces with the skins on. Set aside with lemon or pineapple juice so apples don't brown. Mix greens, drained apples, cheese and cashews. Add dressing a little at a time, it will be thick.
