Salad, pear and walnut with balsamic dressing


Pear & Walnut Salad w/ Balsamic Dressing
makes 2 nice size salads from this bowl.
You can use fresh pears and fresh peas, but this is a quick version, and really good.

Canned Pear halves-you’ll need 2 ½ pear halves , cut each ½ into 2 pieces
Handful of walnuts w/ enough honey to coat + 1-2 tbsp,  heat up in fry pan until reduces, remove to wax paper, separating them as you go.
Iceberg lettuce or a green you prefer
Chopped celery
½ can or 4oz of canned peas
3 soft boiled eggs, boiled 7 minutes and peeled, and sliced
Tomato, thick slice and then cut into triangles, reassemble in the middle of the salad to show slice
    Place peas around the tomato to form a ring.  Place pears in a flower petal pattern, eggs between the pears, sprinkle with celery, and the nuts.  Drizzle with Balsamic Dressing

   Balsamic Dressing 
       1/8 cup 10yr old Balsamic Vinegar (regular Balsamic vinegar is okay, but the aged vinegar, makes a difference)
       1/16 cup olive oil, extra virgin
       S, P, Dill, Rosemary, & basil
Shake up like crazy, in Tupperware is best, use right away, or re-shake
