This is a very refreshing and light salad. I eat this all summer long when pears are plentiful and I don't want to heat up the kitchen. This has been a favorite of mine for a very long time. Hope you like it as much as I do. Ingredients:
2 medium red or yellow pears |
lemon juice |
4 cups fresh spinach leaves |
4 cups leaf lettuce |
3 oranges peeled halved and sectioned |
vinaigrette |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon snipped fresh basil crushed |
1 teaspoon snipped fresh thyme crushed |
1/2 teaspoon snipped fresh marjoram crushed |
Directions:
1. Slice pears then brush cut edges with lemon juice.
2. On a serving platter arrange spinach and lettuce then top with orange and pear slices.
3. Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar then cover and shake well to mix.
4. Before serving add dressing to greens then toss to coat.
