Salad is a staple in my home but sometimes it gets a bit boring this time of year with a lack of fresh summer produce. I was hunkering to change it up a bit and got just what I was looking for with this recipe. I found it at a favorite site of mine Your Home Based Mom
1 bunch baby spinach
1/2 C craisins
3 green onions, sliced
1 green apple, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 C pear chopped
1/4 C sugared walnuts

Combine spinach, craisans, green onions, apple slices, pears and walnuts. Add dressing and toss. Garnish with feta cheese.

2 Tbsp shallots minced
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

This one look good-- I LOVE feta cheese right now- I have a big tub of it from costco, and often eat it plain right out of the fridge! How is the maple dressing --I am worried that will taste weird. What was it like?
Caroline,
We ALWAYS have feta in our home it is a staple :)! As far as the combo of the maple dressing with the feta...well, it is YUMMY! That with the pears and the walnuts...Oooo my mouth is watering just thinking about it. We had it yet again this week with dinner. Go ahead be daring, wreckless and free:) give it a try! I promise it won't disappoint.
