So it is winter (not autumn) & girls night was going to happen. I went on the search for a good salad recipe. I happened upon this on pinterest. Well this was great! Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. It would be great anytime of the year - maybe even add chicken and have as a meal. I can't wait to make it again! I forgot to take a picture - but believe me it was beautiful!
Autumn Chopped Salad
Source: Espresso & Cream
Ingredients
*6 to 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
*2 medium pears, chopped
*1 cup dried cranberries
*1 cup chopped pecans
*8 slices thick-cut bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled
*4 to 6 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
*Poppy seed Salad Dressing (I like T. Marzetti)
*Balsamic Vinaigrette (I like Newman’s Own Light Balsamic Vinaigrette)
Directions
*On a large platter, combine the lettuce, pears, cranberries, pecans, bacon and feta cheese. Drizzle generously with poppy seed dressing, followed by some of the balsamic vinaigrette. (I would estimate that I used about a cup of dressing: 70 percent poppy seed dressing and 30 percent balsamic vinaigrette) If you prefer your salad to have more dressing, feel free to experiment with the combination.
