I’ve been eating this salad every day for weeks! The pecans, the parmesan, the pears and the poppyseed (so many p’s!) all work together so well!

Poppyseed Dressing
3/4 c. sugar or Splenda
2/3 c. apple cider vinegar
2 c. olive oil
1/4 c. onion
2 tsp. dry mustard
2 tsp. salt
2 T. poppyseeds

Put everything into blender EXCEPT poppyseeds. Blend. Stir in poppyseeds after blended. Makes enough dressing for 4 or more exta large salads. Store in quart jar.

Pear and Spinach Salad
Spinach
Romaine Lettuce (half as much as spinach)
1/2 pkg. bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 c. Craisins
1/2 c. almonds, slivered and sugared
Parmesan cheese, grated
Pears, cubed (add right before serving)
Avocado (optional)

Pour poppyseed dressing on just before serving.

Changes I made to dressing: No onion
Changes I made to salad: Pecans instread of almonds, no bacon, and I didn’t use avocado.
