Equipment

Ingredients

For the Beet and Pear Salad

  • 5 ounces mixed greens washed
  • 2 pears sliced
  • 3 medium beets washed, peeled, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • Black Pepper for taste

For the Honey Vinaigrette Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions

  • Add the greens to a large serving bowl. Top with the sliced pears, cooked and sliced beets, and walnuts.
  • In a small mixing bowl or mason jar (I prefer using a jar), add all the salad dressing ingredients and mix well to combine.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad, and toss well so everything is evenly coated in dressing.
  • Add fresh black pepper to the top of the salad, and serve immediately.
