Directions
The nutritional analysis is for a single, large serving inteded to be a full lunch or dinner. However, you can cut it in half and use it as a side salad for 2.

1. Slice the romaine into a fine shred and mix with the baby greens and baby spinach. Put in a large salad bowl.

2. Scoop the seeds out of half a pomegrante, and peel and chop on small Bartlett pear. If you want some heat and punch, slice 1/3 cup of fresh red onion into very fine slices, or if you prefer, use the same amount of a sweet, mild onion such as vidalia. Put this into the salad bowl with the lettuce, and pour the vinegars over the mix and toss to combine.

3. Pour this onto your plate and then sprinkle the finely crumbled blue cheese, walnuts and avacado on top. Top to taste with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt, as desired. This makes a lovely presentation and a very filling meal.

    I skip avocado personal preference and cut back on amounts of each item to make it a side dish salad for several people. Elegant and pretty. - 3/29/17

    Incredible! I warmed up the pears to bring out the sweetness and the pomegrante to give it more 'pop!' and it was insanely good! - 1/11/13
