I am single for the evening thanks to hubby having "guys' group" tonight with church friends, so I'm cooking for one, and I'm looking forward to a quiet evening once my little troublemaker zonks out in about an hour thanks to a long play-filled day with no nap.
Anyway, a light meal was what I was craving after the heaviness of the Italian Sausage last night, so I looked for solace in a salad. I am LOVING the organic produce I've gotten through the natural foods co-op I belong to so far and this dish utilizes a lot of those goodies.
Anjou Pear Salad with Honey Balsalmic Dressing
What you'll need:
1 Anjou Pear
4 leaves Romaine lettuce
1 c fresh Spinach
2 oz. Feta Cheese
2- 1/4" slices of onion (sliced or diced)
1/2 Roma Tomato (sliced or diced)
1 small Carrot (sliced)
1 1/2 t. honey
1 T Balsalmic dressing
Pepper to taste
Wash the greens thoroughly, then chop to desired size. Quarter the pear, then taking each quarter and making very thin, long slices lengthwise. Top the salad with pear slices, then add the onion, tomato and carrot in desired quantities. Sprinkle with Feta cheese. In a small bowl, mix together the honey and Balsalmic dressing then zap in a microwave until just bubbling. Mix again, then sprinkle over the salad. Pepper to taste. Yields 1 serving.
Ratings from the Expert*: For a salad, I give it a 10/10. Not overly filling, just the right amount of sweetness to the dressing, and plenty of variety in taste.
