Give your meals a cheerful jolt with this confetti tossed salad. It balances tang, sweetness, and crunch in ways that'll make any salad skeptic rethink their position on vegetables.

15 ounces Italian blend or spring mix salad greens
16 ounces Krrrrisp Kraut or Silver Floss sauerkraut, lightly rinsed, well drained
2 cans (11 ounce size) mandarin oranges, drained
1 1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 medium apple, cored and diced
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup pecan pieces
1/3 cup extra sharp shredded cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam, softened in microwave
1/2 cup frozen (whole) raspberries, thawed, with juice
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Salad: In large salad bowl, toss greens and sauerkraut together. Top with oranges, cranberries, apple, fresh raspberries, pecans, and cheese.
Dressing: In a small bowl or food processor blend together olive oil, vinegar, jam, thawed raspberries, and pepper.
Drizzle a few tablespoons of the dressing over the salad for moistness and color, serve remainder on the side.
