With trying to eat healthier I’ve been eating lots and lots of salad. So I’ve been looking for ways to make my salads more interesting and go beyond the standard lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. I made this Spinach Pear Salad and it was delicious. I haven’t ever used fruit with salad greens much before, but I can see it is an excellent combination. My husband usually has a token serving of salad, but he had seconds of this one and finished the bowl off.

I love spinach salads!
What an interesting salad! Thanks for sharing!
Yumm… that sounds amazing!
That salad looks good – well I would take the onion out. I’m not a fresh onion liker. If the onion is cooked it’s fine but I do not like the flavor of raw.
I’m trying to go vegan and I will have to try this yummy recipe!!
