Apple & Pear Spring Salad Mix

When Spring and Summer roll around, I tend to want to prepare more salads. I enjoy the lighter meals, but also the very fresh ingredients I can grab at our local Farmer’s Market or HEB Supermarket. We don’t like to eat the same meals over and over again, so I like to experiment and keep things fresh. My BLT Salad, Healthy Grilled Chicken Salad and Snickers Apple Salad are big hits,

• • ½ c. sugar   
  • ⅓ c. lemon juice
  • ½ c. red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 T. dijon mustard or brown mustard
