A simple salad for Springtime.
Author: LydiaF
For the salad
- spinach
- pears sliced into long, thin slices
- red onion sliced into petals
- dates chopped
- cheese slivered or crumbled depending on the variety
- walnuts
For the dressing
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons mustard I like a sharp mustard for this rather than yellow
- salt and pepper to taste
Put all the dressing ingredients into a small, lidded jar (at least 8 ounces) and shake to combine. Adjust the ingredients to your taste.
Arrange the greens on a plate.
Place the pears on top of the greens, fanning the slices.
Garnish with the onions, cheese, chopped dates and walnuts.
Dress with the honey mustard vinaigrette.
