Citrus Apple Tossed Salad

Teresa Ambra
Citrus and apples pair so well together in this appetizing Citrus Apple Tossed Salad. The salad includes grapefruit, oranges, apples, grapes, cream cheese cubes and croutons. The Honey Lemon Salad Dressing includes chives which spices up the salad and gives it a little pizzazz. Great salad to serve for a Ladies' Luncheon or company. Gluten free.

Notes

NOTE: You can also add cream cheese cubes and croutons just before serving. Drizzle salad dressing over individual servings.
 
NOTE: The original recipe called for ¼ cup chives. I thought that was overkill so I included only one tablespoon in the dressing.
 
Recipe adapted from Taste of Home.
 
NOTE: Taste of Home no longer has a search engine that allows you to search recipes by title. Most of the time, you have to weed through thousands of recipes in collections. If any link is to be found, I find direct links through google, not their own website. I could not locate a direct page for this recipe. But it is in the cookbook noted above.
