I made this for our Christmas dinner. It was healthy, delicious, and beautiful. The only modifications I made were packaged glazed walnut pieces and the option of a few complimentary dressings.

KEYWORD: Pear and Feta Salad, Spinach, SPINACH PEAR AND FETA SALAD
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 10 minutes
SERVINGS: 4 servings
CALORIES: 234kcal
Ingredients
- 10 oz fresh spinach
- 2 ripe, yet firm pears - chopped
- 1/2 cup walnuts - chopped
- 1/2 cup feta - crumbled
- 1/4 cup pomegranate airls
- 1/2 cup orange juice - optional
- salad dressing of choice - (I served with balsamic vinaigrette)
Instructions
- Place the spinach, walnuts, pomegranates and feta in a large salad bowl. If preparing ahead of time, dip each pear slice into a small bowl of orange juice and then add to the salad bowl; otherwise, add the pears with the other ingredients. You can arrange the salad by layers or toss it all together.
- Drizzle with salad dressing just before serving.
Notes
- Tip: dip the pear slices in the orange juice to prevent them from browning. This allows you to prepare the entire salad ahead of time and keep it looking fresh. If you will be serving immediately, you can skip the orange juice.
