Festive Pear Pomegranate & Pecan Spinach Salad
Yesterday I jumped in with both feet and came up with three salads I think you’ll really enjoy! The first up is this festive Pear, Pomegranate & Pecan Spinach Salad with Pomegranate Maple Vinaigrette! You see, I was somewhere between planning our Family Thanksgiving menu and scheduling an upcoming Holiday Luncheon when I realized a serious void on Lemony Thyme. I’m really slacking in the festive salad category. That was then, this is now!
