My family loves this salad! I have been making it for holiday gatherings for the past 7 years and the bowl is always empty on the way home, haha. This year was no exception, although we had a much smaller gathering it was requested and as usual the bowl was scraped clean;)
One of the great things about this salad is that it can be prepared ahead of time and will keep well in the fridge for a few days (*before the dressing is added to it) which makes it a snap to bring to a holiday gathering, potluck or take on a picnic.
1 container of mixed salad greens (I prefer O Organics mixed greens)
1-2 medium ripe danjou pears (sliced into thin slices)
1 avocado (sliced into slivers or thicker chunk size pieces)
1 cup dry roasted, sugared pecans
*Additional ingredients options:
Dried Craisins or Dried Blueberries
Fresh blueberries & strawberries in lieu of pears
Feta cheese
Slices of Chicken would be excellent in this as well to add some more protein and make this more of a meal on it's own :)
Dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/8 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoon minced garlic (or 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt)
2 tablespoon honey mustard
Directions:
Mix all salad ingredients in large bowl.
Combine all dressing ingredients (preferably in a shaker, container ingredients can be shaken to mix well), and shake vigorously for 2-3 minutes until well combined.
*If prepping ahead store salad and dressing in refrigerator separately until ready to serve.
Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to combine just before serving.
Enjoy!
