    Grilled Pear Salad with Sweet Honey Pear Vinaigrette

    June 6, 2012 by burntapple 1 Comment

    Summer is definitely starting out with a bang at our house. Soccer camps and dance camps mixed with friends, visits to the pool and family coming to visit. It's officially summer time and I am loving it!

    Summer is my favorite season. I love being able to head outside anytime I want and not get blasted by freezing cold air and wind. I love that you can take a bike ride, go for a run or head out for a walk or swim. There are so many things to choose from!

    Of course, summertime means salads. I think I have an addiction to salad during the summer. It's quick, easy, delicious and doesn't require turning on the stove or oven! Just look at this beautiful pear salad! How can you NOT like salad?

    This grilled salad has the perfect combinations in it. A sweet pear honey vinaigrette with hazelnuts, dried cranberries, grilled pears and a helping of feta cheese. It is delicious! To make it a meal, you can add some cut up chicken breasts or grilled tofu brushed with some of the vinaigrette.
