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
