Summer salads

Since we're from Texas, and it's HOT outside, I thought I'd start with my favorite salad of the moment. It's sweet, tangy, and just right for a summer day. First, you make the dressing:

Oriental Dressing:
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce


Then, you toss about half of it into one of these two salads:

1 head lettuce, washed, and chopped up
2 oranges or pears, cut up into bite sized pieces
1/4 sweet onion, sliced very thin
1/4 cup (or 2 handfuls) feta cheese
1/4 cup (or 2 handfuls) slivered almonds

OR:

1 head cabbage
2 apples, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 sweet onion
1/4 cup (or 2 handfuls) feta cheese
1/4 cup (or 2 handfuls) slivered almonds

This is so refreshing on a hot day!
