August 11, 2009 · Posted in jenna, recipes, salad by jenna
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.
