Description
A refreshing dish that perfectly balances sweet and savory flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe pears, cored and thinly sliced
- 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
- 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
- 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by making the dressing, as this will allow the flavors to meld beautifully. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until they achieve a smooth consistency.
- Now it’s time to prepare the base of your salad! Take your cleaned mixed salad greens and arrange them evenly in a large serving bowl or platter.
- Next, it’s all about layering! Arrange the thinly sliced pears over the bed of greens, spreading them out to create an attractive display.
- Right before you serve, drizzle the prepared dressing over the top of the salad.
Notes
Use a combination of different cheeses for added depth of flavor.
