Poppyseed Salad

This is one of the easiest, quickest, bestest salads ever! Truly it is:)
All you need is:

1 Bag of Green Salad
1 Bag of Cole Slaw {I know cole slaw is not my favorite but it really tastes great!}
Small Can of Honey Roasted Peanuts {you only use about half of it}
1 Bag of Craisins {which you don't also use all of either}
1 Jar of Poppyseed Dressing {don't use the light version - it's nasty!}

Just mix the salads together in large mixing bowl, sprinkle on the peanuts & craisins, and mix some more. Then add about 1/3 of the dressing, mix, sprinkle on more peanuts & craisins as desired, mix, add more dressing as needed/desired, and mix some more. Put in your serving bowl, sprinkle on a few more peanuts & craisins to make the top look fresh & good but don't mix, then serve!

{Side Note: Because the dressing is added in salad, you do not want to make long before you serve. It really only takes about 5 minutes from start to finish, so make sure you throw it together close to serving time. Otherwise it will get soggy and the dressing will pool at bottom.}
