Pear & Spinach Salad with Pomegranate Balsamic & Lemon EVOO Dressing

Pear & Spinach Salad with Pomegranate Balsamic Dressing at The Little Shop of Olive Oils

This is one of those salads that feels light but still satisfying.

Fresh spinach, sweet ripe pear, bursts of pomegranate, and creamy feta — it’s such a lovely combination of flavors and textures. And when you drizzle it with a dressing made from our Pomegranate Dark Balsamic and Lemon Premium Olive Oil, everything just comes together.

The lemon olive oil keeps the dressing bright and fresh. The pomegranate balsamic adds depth and just the right amount of sweetness. A touch of Dijon gives it body, and if you’d like a little extra sweetness, a spoonful of Franklin Raw Honey does the trick.

Add toasted walnuts or almonds for crunch, and suddenly you have a salad that feels thoughtful without being complicated.

It’s perfect for lunch, for entertaining, or as a fresh side alongside grilled chicken or salmon.

Bright. Balanced. Beautiful on the plate.
