This salad is good. It is “Wow, that was amazing, I want more” good. Spring greens are tossed with candied walnuts, feta, pears, and topped with the best salad dressing you will ever put in your mouth in your entire life.
Make this for a dinner party and wow people. Take it to a potluck. The possibilities are endless. You will be asked for the recipe, repeatedly.
This is a great side dish to a BBQ dinner too, but it is fancy enough for company.
Make, eat, love.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 10 oz bag of mixed spring greens
1 pear, sliced, core removed
1/2 cup of candied walnuts (recipe here for the easiest two ingredient candied walnuts EVER)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Amazing salad dressing:
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
Directions:
Place all salad dressing ingredients into a blender or food processor, and blend for one minute. Refrigerate until ready to use. Assemble your salad. Greens first, then pears, then walnuts, then cheese.
Individually dress each salad with dressing. A little goes a long way. Enjoy!

I’m not a big salad fan (remember I’m the picky eater in the family), but this is composed of things I like so they should be good together. Plus, feta makes most things better 🙂
Thank you. This is an awesome salad. The only changes I made were I used canned pears and pecans (candied on stove – so easy). Loved the salad dressing and use it on so many other salads.
So glad you liked this, Cheryl.
Absolutely love this salad. I use the dressing on other salads too. My family and friends always want the recipe. Thanks for sharing. From Sunny South Africa and owner of GSD too called Ross.
I was originally searching for a salad that includes greens, pears, feta and beets. Do you think the addition of beets (or as optional ingredient) would be good with this salad? Either way sounds delicious to me. What is your expert opinion? 🙂 Thanks!
I was originally searching for a salad that includes pears, greens, feta and beets. In your expert opinion, what do you think about adding beets to this salad? It sounds delicious in any case and can’t wait to make it. Thanks!
I think that would be great.
Just found your recipe for salad dressing. Where have you been all my life!!! It is the most delicious thing to ever wrap around my taste buds. I can’t get enough of it, so much so, I’m creating different combinations of salads twice daily just so I can have this mouthwatering recipe again and again. Thank you!!
Absolutely my favourite salad! Has any tried to make it with canned pears? I haven’t always been able to get pears.
Made salad to go with roasted Cornish hens and was absolutely delicious together. No need for anything else, scrumptious.
