  • Olive oil – 1/4 cup
  • Red wine vinegar – 2 tablespoons
  • Honey – 1 tablespoon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Spinach

Start by rinsing the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.

Step 2: Slice the Pears

Take ripe pears and slice them thinly. You can choose to peel them or leave the skin on based on your preference.

Step 3: Deseed the Pomegranate

Cut the pomegranate in half and gently tap or pry out the seeds. Avoid including any bitter white pith.

Step 4: Combine Salad Ingredients

In a large salad bowl, combine the dried cranberries, sliced pears, pomegranate seeds, and the prepared spinach.

Step 5: Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 6: Toss the Salad

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 7: Serve Immediately

Spoon the salad onto plates and serve immediately for the best texture and flavors.

Notes

Note 1: Fresh Ingredients

Using fresh, seasonal ingredients can enhance the flavor and nutritional value of the salad.

Note 2: Customize Your Salad

Feel free to add nuts, cheese, or other fruits to personalize the salad according to your taste preferences.

Note 3: Storage Tips

If not serving immediately, store the dressing separately to maintain the crispness of the salad.
