Turkey and Pear Autumn Salad

Turkey and Pear Autumn Salad

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)

Directions:

1. 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.


2. 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.


3. Slice the remaining pear into slices (no need to peel).


4. 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.
