Fig, Berry, and Spinach Salad with Poppyseed Dressing
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup canola oil (you can substitute a couple tablespoons of mayo for a creamier dressing)
1/4 cup finely grated white onion
2 to 4 tablespoons sugar, to taste
1 teaspoon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

feta or goat cheese, crumbled
