Spinach, pear and cranberry salad

Salad for lunch can be tricky if you pack it the night before to take to work, but this one works because spinach is a pretty hearty. The combination of flavors in this salad makes for a satisfying meal.

Spinach, pear and cranberry salad

2 cup spinach, trimmed and torn
1 pear, diced
1 - 2 tbsp crumbled feta
1 - 2 tbsp dried cranberries
1 - 2 ounce torn deli turkey or prosciutto
1 tbsp honey mustard dressing

1. Place pear through prosciutto in the bottom of salad container. Top with spinach.
2. Once ready to eat, add salad dressing and toss or shake.

You can play with this recipe by using different fruits, such as strawberries or dried cherries. Adding chopped nuts would also be good. I love prosciutto in this salad because it adds a nice salty flavor. My favorite dressing is Maple Grove Farms Fat Free Honey Dijon, it is so good!
