Ingredients

For the Salad Base

6 cups Fresh Baby Spinach This leafy green serves as a nutritious, crisp base for your salad; feel free to swap it for arugula for a peppery kick.
2 medium Ripe Pears Choose firm pears for a sweet texture that holds up well; apples can be used as a delightful substitute for added crunch.

For the Flavor Burst

1 cup Pomegranate Seeds These jewel-like seeds add juicy bursts of flavor that are essential; substitute with dried cranberries for a different sweetness.
1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese Adds creaminess and tang; easily replace it with goat cheese to explore a new flavor dimension.

For the Crunch

1/2 cup Toasted Walnuts Their rich, nutty flavor enhances the salad’s texture; if you prefer, pecans or even sliced almonds can make a great alternative.

For the Dressing

1/4 cup Balsamic Vinaigrette This tart and sweet dressing ties all the flavors together.

Instructions

Wash Greens: Start by rinsing the fresh baby spinach under cold water, ensuring you remove any dirt. Dry thoroughly using a salad spinner or clean kitchen towel for the best texture.
Slice Pears: Carefully slice the ripe pears into thin wedges, keeping their firmness in mind to maintain their shape.
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the washed spinach, pear slices, and vibrant pomegranate seeds. Gently toss to distribute everything evenly.
Add Cheese and Nuts: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and toasted walnuts over the top for creaminess and delightful crunch.
Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette generously over the salad mix and toss gently to coat all ingredients.
Serve Immediately: Plate your salad for an instantly refreshing side or a light lunch.
