Summer Poppyseed Salad

I am a big fruity salad fan, so this is one of my favorites.

Combine in a large salad bowl:
Romaine or green leaf lettuce
1 can mandarin oranges
1 avocado, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 apple, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/4 dried cranberries
1/2 cup blue cheese or gorgonzola crumbles

Dressing:
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp onion flakes or crushed onion
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. dry mustard
3/4 tsp. poppy seeds

Pour dressing over salad and toss immediately before serving.
