I love the taste of fruit in a salad, it's a nice switch from a regular salad with vegetables, the flavors you get by pairing fruit with vegetables are so good and sweet, almost like dessert. You can put any kind of fruit with any kind of lettuces. I made this salad to go with dinner the other night and made an Apple Cider and Brown Sugar Vinaigrette to go with it. Recipe is below.
Looks pretty!
1 - 5 oz. container of spinach, arugula and radicchio blend salad mix
2 pears cored and sliced
1/2 cup of Ocean Spray dried cranberries
1/2 cup of Emerald Candied Pecans
1/4 cup of Hormel crumbled bacon
Layer salad ingredients in the order above on a large platter.
For the Dressing
1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup of canola oil
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard
Pour all ingredients into a jar or container with a lid and shake vigorously.
TIPS: If making the salad ahead of time toss the pears with lemon juice so they do not get brown. Also, feta cheese or gorgonzola cheese would be great on this salad, so add it on if you like.
