Strawberry, Apple, and Pear Spinach Salad with an Apple Cider Poppyseed Dressing
Description
The Strawberry, Apple, and Pear Spinach Salad features a blend of leafy spinach and a trio of fresh fruits: strawberry, apple, and pear. These ingredients contribute brightness, sweetness, and crispness to the salad. The accompanying apple cider poppyseed dressing offers a tangy and slightly sweet complement, incorporating apple cider, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, and poppy seeds for texture and flavor.
Adding crumbled feta cheese introduces a creamy and slightly salty contrast, while chopped pecans provide a nutty crunch. Together, these components create varied textures and tastes, making the salad well-rounded and refreshing.
