• 1 large head red leaf lettuce, washed, dried, and broken into pieces (I like a lettuce combo so I used red leaf and butter – a red leaf and spring mixture would also be yummy)
• 1/2 medium red onion, sliced sliced and separated into rings (I recommend slicing them very thin, a mandolin would be good if you have one.  I wish mine were thinner.  I then cut the rings in half)
• 2 – 3 oranges, peeled and sliced then cut into chunks (You can us 2 cans of mandarin oranges, drained – but the fresh orange is fabulous and the more the better for me)
• 1/2 jicama, peeled and cut into julienne strips
• 1/2 cup or so of dried cranberries
