This salad is Romane lettuce, Granny smith apples, whole pinto beans (I was out of chick peas) and dried cranberries.
I warmed the apples, beans and cranberries in the dressing I semi-made. Only for about 2-3 minutes tops. I added the romane last for about 1 minute. I didn't cook the tomatoes b/c I prefer the contrast between the warm salad and the cool tomatoes.
The real prize winner here is my semi-made dressing.
I like a creamy dressing- with less of the fat. I merely took my regular Ginger Based dressing and plopped it into the blender/food processor to make a creamy ginger-y dressing.
Walnuts would be a nice addition to this salad but I was out. A great 10 minute meal if I do say so myself. ; )

my meal tonight was a great burrito. you would have loved it.

I am glad we both had good meals :-)
That looks great! And sounds great. Gingery dressing with the cranberries (and walnuts if you'd had them) would be a wonderful taste combination.
Nice lookin' salad!!!!
Yumm.....I agree, cranberries in salad (or almost anything) are great. Hope you have a wonderful day, BFN, G :)
