Description

This salad is as delicious as it is festive and colorful! I call it a Christmas salad because of the red and green colors, but it would impress your guests any time of the year!

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch Spinach, Washed And Torn
  • ¼ whole Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 whole Green Pear, Thinly Sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons Gorgonzola Cheese, Crumbled
  • 2 Tablespoons Pomegranate Seeds
  • 2 Tablespoons Pecans, Roughly Chopped

Preparation

In a serving bowl, toss in spinach then red onion slices. Fan out pear slices, then sprinkle gorgonzola, pomegranate seeds and pecans on top. DO NOT TOSS or all of the smaller ingredients will fall to the bottom. Serve with your favorite vinaigrette.

A festive salad for a festive season!

What a fabulous salad. SO tasty. This will become a staple for our household now. I served it on Christmas with our dinner. I can’t say enough good things about how absolutely delicious it was! I paired it with this dressing: https://tastykitchen.com/recipes/recipes/condiments/pomegranate-balsamic-vinaigrette/#cr

I tried this for lunch, it was just delicious! She is right, don’t mix it. The small crunchy bits of pomegranate seeds and pecans really make the salad.
