Candied Pecan, Pear, And Pomegranate Salad

For date night, Markus and I decided to make this incredible recipe we found on this blog and boy was it delicious!

I absolutely LOVE candied nuts, I LOVE pears, and I LOVE pomegranates, so combining all of those flavors in one is like heaven! Just beware, even though it’s a healthy salad, it does have a bit of sugar from the candied pecans, the dried cranberries, the fruit, and the dressing.

But, if you don’t mind, it’s extremely delicious and something you shouldn’t be too worried about if you’re having it occasionally. The only thing missing here to make it a perfectly balanced meal is the protein, so if you want to complete the meal, feel free to add whatever protein source you like!

Ingredients

Salad

• 1 bag (6-8 ounces or about 8 cups) fresh spring mix
• 1 cup heaping pomegranate arils
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1 can (15 ounces) pear halves*
