Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

My mother-in-law had a recipe similar to this. Long gone. I omitted the grapes in this recipe (none in original recipe)and increased the cranberries to 1#. We loved this. I used Fugi apples very crisp, tart and sweet. Mom would have approved.

I made this for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe! Cranberries were a little hard to find for Christmas, but one grocery store came through for me. I used an apple called a Honey Golden (found at an apple orchard in Wisc.) It had a pear-like taste that made the salad perfect!
