This is a quick and easy salad using fresh Kiwi and toasted pecans. Drizzled on top is a deliciously light Honey & Pear-Infused Balsamic Vinaigrette. The perfect salad for Spring!
Kiwi, Red Onion & Toasted Pecan Salad
6 cups mixed salad greens
2 kiwi, peeled & sliced into rounds
1/4 small red onion, sliced thin
1/2 cup pecans, toasted
1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles
Honey & Pear-Infused Balsamic Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons Pear-Infused Balsamic Vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Place 1 1/2 cups mixed salad greens, a quarter of the sliced kiwi, some sliced red onion and toasted pecans and sprinkle with a few feta cheese crumbles on each plate.
Prepare the Honey & Pear-Infused Balsamic Vinaigrette: In a small jar combine the vinegar, honey, salt, pepper and olive oil. Put a lid on and shake vigorously. Drizzle on each salad plate.
Enjoy!

Reblogged this on Suzy Barker and commented:
17 degrees is what we’ve had today here in the UK spring sunshine – it’s been delightful. That combined with the light nights means that we’re back on salads – hurrah. I would agree that my salads are not to everyone’s taste, as I tend to mix up whatever happens to be in the fridge. I’m a big fan of fresh unprocessed food so our fridge is usually heaving with fruit, vegetables and salad. And you’d struggle to find any meat in there; lots of eggs though. Anyway, as a salad “expert” I’m always on the look out for innovative ideas, and the Fabulous Fare Sisters have consistently scored highly on my personal tasty and healthy food leader board. Here’s the latest from their website for you to enjoy –
