Quick and Easy Fruity Tootie Salad

I made this last night because I didn't have crap in the house other than lettuce to make a traditional lettuce salad.  Now I only want to eat this kind!!

Serves 4 adults (with HUGE portions)


Get yourself some of this: 

• 1 head lettuce
• 3 fresh mandarin oranges (cuties if they're fresh) or 2-3 cans (if they ain't fresh)
• 4 fat-ass apples (your favorite kind, one per person)
• Whatever else fruit you have on hand
• Dressing of your choice (poppyseed is great with fruit salads)

Then do this: 

I always wash my lettuce in my salad spinner, so I cut my head of lettuce in half, then each half in half again.  I grab the quarter head and slice in small bite-sized pieces over my strainer and wash the lettuce.  Then I spin it and place in a big ass bowl (normally, I would place each quarter in a mixing bowl for each person or a huge plate).  After all lettuce is washed and spun and put into the big bowl, I segment the cuties and keep them whole and throw them in.  Then cut the apples up into bite-sized pieces (I cute straight lines around the core and slice from there).

Mix it all up, and plate it for each person (make sure everyone has apples and oranges).  I used olive oil, salt and pepper on mine and my husband's and my oldest, and my youngest used bacon Catalina dressing.  You can use poppyseed (this pairs great with fruit!) or whatever you like.

I am in love with this salad and while it's easy, it's good for you and DEEELISH!
