Pear Salad w/Walnuts, Avocado & Chicken

Perfect Summer salad packed with fruit, healthy fat, protein and lots of flavor!

RECIPE:

6 cups spring mix

2 pears I used Red Anjou and Green Bartlett, sliced or chopped

12oz grilled chicken breast

2 slices of cooked turkey bacon

1/4 cup goat cheese crumbles

2 Tablespoons dried cranberries

2 Tablespoons chopped walnuts raw or toasted

1/2 avocado sliced or chopped into chunks

Maple Balsamic Dressing

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar I used white

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon sugar free maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning


Prepare bacon + chicken: Cook turkey bacon and grill chicken if you haven't already. See notes.

Make dressing: Prepare dressing by whisking together all ingredients in a small bowl or jar. I like using a jar with a lid for this so you can easily store any leftover dressing in the fridge in that same jar.

Prep salad: Grab two bowls and add a base of spring mix, pear slices, grilled chicken breast, bacon, goat cheese, dried cranberries, walnuts and avocado.

Serve: Drizzle salad with desired amount of balsamic dressing and enjoy!
