1 (10-ounce) package mixed salad greens
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup crumbled blue cheese
½ cup manadrin orange segments
¼ cup kiwi sliced, optional
¼ cup walnuts, chopped (or slivered almonds)

For dressing:
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen raspberries, thawed
¼ cup sugar
½ cup orange juice, plus additional as needed
¼ cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions:
Wash the salad greens and place them in a large salad serving bowl. Garnish lettuces with cranberries, blue cheese, orange segments, kiwi and walnuts. Prepare dressing.
For dressing: puree the raspberries and sugar in a blender until smooth.

Canned tuna, cooked chicken chunks, shrimp or crabmeat make this fruity salad a great main-dish meal.
