Amazing Spinach & Pear Salad

Spinachsalad Over the holidays, I tried a new salad recipe that has turned out to be my absolute favorite salad recipe of all times.  With a wonderful rosemary and parsley dressing, fresh pears, and a few blue cheese crumbles, it's wonderful as a starter salad for a nice dinner with company, or great as a dinner salad.

The pears and the spinach together are just sweet and wonderful.

3 medium pears, ripe
2 TBS rosemary, finely chopped

4 TBS rice vinegar

Salt and Pepper to taste

  1. Wash your spinach and shake gently in collander to remove water.
