A delicious and simple to salad with fresh sliced pears, avocado, cranberries and feta cheese. Drizzled with a lemon poppyseed dressing this salad is mouthwatering and full of flavor!
Hey everyone! Chelsea from Chelsea’s Messy Apron back with a delicious and easy salad for you all to try. 🙂
I’ve recently discovered just how delicious canned fruit can be in a salad! Particularly in spinach or mixed green salads. It’s great for when the fruit you are wanting isn’t quite in season or you are looking to add some flavor/nutrients to a salad QUICK. This salad has canned pears which are pre-peeled and sliced making it so simple.
Add some pre-made candied walnuts and dried cranberries, a chopped avocado and the easiest ever dressing and you’ve got a delicious and simple salad.
There is a lemon poppyseed homemade dressing that is as easy as squeezing a lemon and blending a few ingredients together. It’s my absolute favorite dressing and a recipe I use constantly. I hope you enjoy!

Stir in the poppyseeds.
For the rest of the salad:
Rinse and dry the mixed greens.
Thoroughly drain the pears.
Add in the candied walnuts and dried cranberries.
Remove the skin and pit of an avocado and dice.
Toss all of the ingredients together with the dressing, add some feta cheese, and enjoy immediately.
If not enjoying immediately, do not add the dressing until right before eating.
If desired, add some grilled chicken to this salad!
