Description
This salad is so easy to make and complements many dishes. I especially love to eat this in the fall season, when I can find delicious pears.
Ingredients
Scale
Salad Dressing:
- 1/4 cup olive oil (organic, extra virgin, cold pressed)
- 2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
- 1 tsp. honey
- pinch of sea salt
- 4–5 twists of freshly ground black pepper
Salad Base:
- 6 cups mixed greens
- 1 pear, sliced with skin on
- 1/4 cup raw walnuts, toasted lightly
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients for the salad dressing together and whisk well. Set aside.
- Place the mixed greens in a large bowl
- Toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant. This should take only a few minutes. Keep a close eye on them, while they are toasting so that they don’t burn! Move from the burner and let cool, while you prepare the rest of the salad.
- Wash the pear and slice it in strips the length of the pear (skin on). Place the pear slices on top of the mixed greens.
- Add the toasted walnuts and dried cranberries to the salad.
- Toss with the dressing and serve. Start with about half of the dressing and taste. Add more if needed.
