1 cup carbonated lemon-lime beverage (I used Hansen's Key Lime Natural Soda) or 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
4 cups fresh baby spinach leaves, washed and dried

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup pine nuts or 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
raspberry vinaigrette dressing

Directions

1

Place the sliced pears in a non-reactive bowl along with the soda or lime juice. Toss to coat well to keep the pears from oxidizing (turning brown).
2

Place the washed baby spinach leaves in a salad bowl. Add the green onions, feta and nuts. *NOTE: Do not add the nuts to the salad until just before serving.
3

Drain the pears and discard the liquid.
4

Add the drained pears to the salad bowl and toss to blend.
5

Serve salad with raspberry vinaigrette on side.
