Apple & Pear Spring Salad Mix

When Spring and Summer roll around, I tend to want to prepare more salads. I enjoy the lighter meals, but also the very fresh ingredients I can grab at our local Farmer’s Market or HEB Supermarket. We don’t like to eat the same meals over and over again, so I like to experiment and keep things fresh. My BLT Salad, Healthy Grilled Chicken Salad and Snickers Apple Salad are big hits,

Apple & Pear Spring Salad Mix Dressing Ingredients

• • ½ c. sugar   
  • ⅓ c. lemon juice
  • ½ c. red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 T. dijon mustard or brown mustard
  • ⅔ c. olive oil
  • 1 T. poppy seeds

Chop Spring Salad Mix and place in a large salad bowl. Chop pears and apples.

Shred parmesan cheese and measure cashews.

Combine salad ingredients together in a large bowl.

Right before serving, pour dressing over salad and toss, coating the lettuce evenly. Serve and enjoy!
