The Healthy Foodie

Since it is summer and the sun stays up much later, my husband and my social circle has begun having barbeques much more often than going out to restaurants.  Every couple brings their own meat and drinks to share and we divide up who brings what side.  Tonight, my job is to bring the salad, but I do not like to bring just any old iceburg/tomato mix.  I go for the easy recipes that have a culinary twist!  Here is my easy and healthy salad recipe that is sure to please!

 Spinach and Pear Salad

1 bag baby spinach leaves, 2 pears sliced, 1/2 cup fat free feta cheese, 1/4 cup almond slices, 1 bottle low fat balsamic vinaigrette dressing

 Toss all ingredients except dressing.  Let each guest decide how much dressing they want on their salad, but since YOU are the one trying to be healthy, drizzle just enough to give your salad flavor.  This tastes great with grilled chicken or salmon and a chilled glass of white wine.  Enjoy!
