Ingredients: |
3 cups baby spinach, washed and dried (use package faster)
3 medium ripe pears, cut into slices
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
Dressing:
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons orange juice
salt to taste
1 clove crushed garlic
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or almonds |
|
Directions: |
1. In a salad bowl, place spinach, pears and cheese.
2. Whisk together dressing ingredients, except nuts, and toss with salad.
3. Toast nuts about 5 minutes in 325° oven. (I brown them in frying pan on the stove)
4. Sprinkle nuts over salad and serve. |
|
Hints: |
I am always asked for this recipe
when I take it somewhere. I also change it from pears to canned
Mandarine oranges, fresh oranges or sometimes tart apples. With the
oranges (either) this makes a pretty holiday salad and is my
favorite. Do not mix together if traveling. |
