Craig's Ray of Sunshine Salad

So I take liberties with naming my recipes. This one again is not named after a boy I dated, but someone in my family not only dated him, but also married him as well. So it counts. And that "someone" who dated him was my mother-in-law. Yes, folks- Craig Ray is my father-in-law, but I don't think anyone every calls him Craig Ray except maybe his mother use to. But maybe I'll start that tradition. He seems like the type who would appreciate it. ;)

I recently took this salad to a family dinner and Craig Ray- see how it is catching on- proclaimed this salad "The Best Salad He Has Ever Tasted." So I guess it doesn't take much to win my affection because I immediately decided this salad was to be named after him. And his middle name of Ray just begged to be included. So basically the universe declared "The Best Salad Ever" as:

Craig's Ray of Sunshine Salad

Lettuce- whatever kind you like- I used a mix of red leaf and spinach.

1 pear, diced

1 apple, diced

1 avocado, diced

1 shallot, thinly sliced

Almonds slices- toasted. I bought some that were already toasted with a slight sweet coating. You could probably use any kind- just not a savory flavor.

Crumbled feta cheese

Briannas Poppy seed Dressing

Combine all the above ingredients together and sit back and wait for the compliments to come pouring in!
