- 0.25 cups Feta cheese (optional)
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey

Instructions
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Place it in a large salad bowl.
Core and slice the ripe pears thinly. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients. Add the pear slices to the bowl with the spinach.

Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently. Let them cool slightly before adding to the salad bowl.
If using feta cheese, crumble it and add it to the salad for extra flavor.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the honey-lemon dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl.
Gently toss the salad to coat all ingredients evenly with the dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of the Pear Spinach Walnut Celery Salad.
