AUTUMN CHOPPED SALAD

This Autumn Chopped Salad was served at a scrapbooking retreat I went to back in November!  It was one of the BEST salads *EVER* and has quickly become a family favorite.

AUTUMN CHOPPED SALAD

*6 to 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
2 medium pears, chopped
*1 cup dried cranberries
*1 cup chopped pecans
*8 slices thick-cut bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled
*4 to 6 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
*Poppy seed Salad Dressing (I like T. Marzetti)
*Balsamic Vinaigrette (I like Newman’s Own Light Balsamic Vinaigrette)

Instructions
*On a large platter, combine the lettuce, pears, cranberries, pecans, bacon and feta cheese. Drizzle generously with poppy seed dressing, followed by some of the balsamic vinaigrette. (I would estimate that I used about a cup of dressing: 70 percent poppy seed dressing and 30 percent balsamic vinaigrette) If you prefer your salad to have more dressing, feel free to experiment with the combination.

Good to see you blogging again! Your recipes look terrific; I'll need to wait until fall to try that salad (vbg).
