• 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)
• ½ 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)
• ½ jicama peeled and cut into julienne strips
• ½ cup or so of dried cranberries

• 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
