Pear And Avocado Salad

Features:
    Cuisine:

    A delicious salad which Ill certainly make again and again: a great summer dish. And very quick to prepare. I wasnt too sure what bartlett pears are, so since the ones I had bought were average pear-size, I just used two. I arranged the slices of pear and avocado on a bed of baby spinach leaves and red lettuce leaves, and sprinkled chopped pecans and feta (since its what I had on hand) on top. A really tasty dressing which complemented the salad beautifully: used walnut oil and Dijon mustard. Thank you,.::.Blink.::., for sharing this delightful recipe, which was very well received by those (who are not generally big salad eaters), whom I served it to!

I subbed parmesan for the Roquefort but otherwise followed the recipe. This is definitely a keeper.
