Favorite Salad

This recipe is an amazing combination of not only flavor, but of texture as well. Everyone I have served this to has been floored by its simplicity and fantastic taste. It's JST's favorite salad ever…need I say more? LOL!

Pear Salad with Poppyseed Dressing

12 ounces salad greens (such as red leaf, green leaf, butter, or romaine mix)
1 1/2 c. (8 ounces) feta cheese, crumbled
2/3 c. pecans, chopped
2 fresh pears, peeled, cored & sliced (ripe but still firm is best)
1 c. seasoned croutons – optional
1 jar (15 fl. oz.) T. Marzetti's Poppyseed Salad Dressing

1. Prepare greens by rinsing, drying, and tearing any larger leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2. Toss the feta and pecans into the greens. (add croutons if you'd like)
3. Arrange the pear slices on top of the salad, and if you are not serving the salad immediately, lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the salad so that the pears do not discolor.
4. Serve with T. Marzetti's Poppyseed Salad Dressing.
