Fresh and Flavorful Pear Salad: Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Delight

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe pears (Anjou, Bartlett, or Bosc), sliced
  • 4 cups mixed greens (such as arugula, spinach, or baby kale)
  • 1/4 cup candied or plain pecans (ensure they're gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free feta cheese (optional, or omit for a simpler version)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent pears from browning)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (check for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the pears: Slice the pears and toss them lightly with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Mix the salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, pear slices, pecans, and dried cranberries (or pomegranate seeds).
  3. Make the dressing: Whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper.
  4. Toss and serve: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle with dairy-free feta if desired.
  5. Enjoy immediately!

Tips:

  • For added protein, top with grilled chicken or chickpeas.
  • You can substitute walnuts or almonds for pecans.
  • Add thinly sliced red onions for extra flavor.

This salad is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, making it a great choice for those with dietary restrictions!
