Turkey and Pear Autumn Salad
This Turkey and Pear Autumn Salad is perfect for fall!
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe pears, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ cup walnuts
- 12 cups lettuce, I recommend baby lettuces, spring mix, arugula, spinach
- 12 oz sliced deli turkey, chopped (if following the WW Freestyle program, choose one that’s 0 points!)
- ½ cup pomegranate arils/seeds
- ½ cup crumbled goat cheese, you can substitute blue cheese or feta if you prefer
Instructions
- Peel one of the pears and cut into pieces, removing the core. To make the dressing, place the peeled pear pieces in a blender and add the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, salt and ground ginger. Blend for a few minutes until well combined and smooth.
- Optional step: to toast the walnuts, spread them in a single layer across a dry skillet and bring over low heat. Cook them for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until toasted.
- Slice the remaining pear into slices (no need to peel).
- To build each salad, start with a base of 3 cups of lettuce. Add 1 tablespoon walnuts, 2 tablespoons pomegranate arils, 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese, ¼ of the pear slices and about 2 ½ tablespoons of dressing.
