This is my favorite salad, all the flavors just have that perfect "harmony" together! Throw a smaller batch of this together for a tasty lunch for one, or make this version for a larger group.
Ingredients:
2 cups torn baby spinach greens
1 ripe pear, diced in 1/2" pieces
1/3 c. (or so) crumbled gorgonzola cheese
1/3 c. chopped walnuts. (Or pecans)
Dressing:
1/2 c. olive oil
1/3 c. lemon juice
2 Tbs. water
3 Tbs. Splenda or sugar
1 tsp. dill
dash of salt
Mix everything well in a bottle/jar.
Combine salad ingredients, and toss with dressing. Enjoy with a piece of crusty bread.
That looks really good, Hailey. I've never tried Gorgonzola. Is it pretty strong?
ReplyDeleteI'm sooooo excited to try this one! Have you ever had the Pear & Pecan salad from Plates & Palates? It's so yummy and this kind of reminds me of it. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'd say gorgonzola is a little strong, maybe like feta. You don't eat it on it's own, but it's really good with the sweetness of the pear and dressing.
ReplyDeleteEsther, this is my version of a salad I once had at a restaurant and it was so good I still think of it... It had candied pecans, which are extra yummy if you have the time to make them!
