Pear Walnut Salad

I have been experimenting with added a few more taste to my salads, instead of the same ol’ boring thing.

My salad this weekend actually tasted like dessert!  I got the idea from a restaurant salad, but of course, when you make your own you have a little more control of the calories.

I mixed butter lettuce and romaine lettuce.

1 fresh pear, cut  into small chunks

2-4 tablespoons of gorgonzola cheese pieces

Once on the plate, the walnuts are optional.  I took 4 walnut halves and broke them into small pieces.

I found a cranberry walnut gorgonzola vinaigrette dressing at Trader Joe’s.  75 calories for 2 tablespoons.

That’s it!  That simple but FABULOUS mix of taste that just wake up your mouth!

What are some creative things you have done with a green salad?

    YUM! That sounds really good! I like spinach w/ fresh strawberries, a few pecans, bleu cheese crumbles and a tiny bit of poppy seed dressing. I think I may have eaten so much of it this summer, though that I am sick of it :)

  2. Love the sound of that. I am not a salad person but I love pears!
