Ingredients

  • 2 ripe pears
  • 2 tablespoon Avocado Oil
  • 4 tablespoon Crisp Anjou Pear Balsamic Vinegar, divided
  • 3 tablespoon Tuscan Herb Olive Oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Rosemary Sea Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 6 cups spinach
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

  4. Finish the spinach with caramelized pears, cranberries, maple pecans, and cheese. Enjoy!
