Pear, Walnut, And Cranberry Salad Recipe
Health Highlights
On top of tasting buttery sweet, studies show that pears boost metabolism and can speed up weight loss. Walnuts boost serotonin levels and reduce levels

Ingredients


3 cup Spinach
1/2 cup slices Pear
2 tbsp Walnuts (chopped)
1/4 cup Cranberries, dried (optional)
1/3 cup Red onion (sliced)
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (Dressing)
1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar (Dressing)
1 clove(s) Garlic (minced; Dressing)

Instructions


DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix all dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
  2. Place all salad ingredients in a large bowl, and pour the dressing on top.
  3. The cranberries are optional but you could use a few fresh raspberries or blueberries instead which will also bring the carbs down by quite a bit.
  4. Toss, serve, and enjoy!

Notes:

TIPS/SUBSTITUTIONS 

  • You can choose almonds or pecans instead of walnuts.
  • Feel free to substitute macadamia nut oil for olive oil.
  • Apple cider vinegar is a great substitute for the balsamic.
  • Not a fan of cranberries? Use raisins or a fresh, tart fruit instead!
