Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe pears
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 5 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup walnuts
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the mixed salad greens, then set them aside in a large serving bowl.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Cut the pears into quarters, remove the cores, and slice them thinly. Peel and pit the avocados, then slice them into thin wedges.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Add the pear slices, avocado wedges, and toasted walnuts to the bowl with the salad greens. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
Gently toss the ingredients to coat them with the dressing, being careful not to mash the avocado slices.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese for a finishing touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
