Good Morning World,
I was thinking about all the people who eat blah salads in an effort to get some veggies in their bodies, and thought it was time to let you know about an easy salad that is so tasty and versatile. It is a Pear and Blue Cheese Salad. Now before you sceptics turn up your nose on this one, I ask you to give this a try because it is delicious, easy and very versatile. This can be made as a side dish or add some grilled chicken on top and you have a meal. We love it so much we eat this at least once a week at my house.
Ingredients:
1 bag of your favorite bagged salad
1/2 cup lightly toasted walnut pieces
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 pear sliced into bit sized pieces
Dressing
2 tbs white vinegar
1 tbs apple cider vinegar
2 tbs honey
2 tbs minced shallots or purple onions
1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Place salad mix, walnuts, blue cheese and pears into a large shallow bowl (it's easier to mix in a shallow bowl). In a small container with a lid combine vinegar, honey, shallots or onion, cover and shake until honey is completely dissolved. Add oil, salt and pepper, cover and shake vigorously. Right before serving pour about 2/3 of the dressing evenly over salad mixture and with 2 large spoons mix thoroughly. Voila, that's all you have to do!
I really hope you enjoy this recipe. Be creative with this, sometimes I add dried cranberries to this to change it up a bit, but literally you can add what ever you like to this and I guarantee it will be fabulous!
To coin a phrase from one of my favorite people (Julia Child's) "Bon Appetit!
