Lettuce and Pear Salad with a Quick Raspberry Vinaigrette

Am dealing with quite a bit of a blogging backlog lately - this is my dinner from Saturday night!
We get these yellow pears here, which are white on the inside have a really high water content. So, this time, I decided to have a completely sweet salad with lettuce, pears, and a raspberry vinaigrette.
I happened to have a rasberry preserve, that I liquified to make a dressing for the salad. Of course, if you are fortunate enough to get fresh rasberries, nothing like it!

Lettuce and Pear Salad

Ingredients:
  • 2-3 cups of chopped iceberg lettuce
  • 1 pear, chopped
  • 2-3 tablespoons of rasberry preserve
To make:
  • Chop the iceberg lettuce into medium sized long strips, and the pear into bite sized chunks.
  • Add a couple of tablespoons of water to the rasberry preserve to make it more liquid.
  • Dress the salad with the rasberry dressing.

  1. Oh... I did a raspberry reduction that would work perfectly for this! I think it would also be lovely with fresh spinach. Yum!
