I like to serve this pretty salad in the fall. The colors are bright, the texture fresh and the flavors a delightful blend. It compliments roasted entrees and is good with grilled meats, too. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons water |
2 tablespoons orange juice |
1-1/2 teaspoons honey |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger |
dash salt |
1 medium ripe pear, sliced |
2-1/2 cups torn mixed salad greens |
1/2 cup chopped tomato |
2 tablespoons chopped red onion |
2 tablespoons raisins |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the water, orange juice, honey, cinnamon, allspice, ginger and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add pear slices; simmer 5-8 minutes longer or just until pears are tender.
2. Divide salad greens between two bowls; top with the tomato, onion, raisins and pear slices. Drizzle with warm dressing; serve immediately. Yield: 2 servings.
