Winter Salad w/ Prosecco Vinaigrette

I LOVE salad! My mom gets sick of salad. So, whenever we are all getting together I look through salad recipes to inspire me for something outside of basic.  I created this salad after adjusting to everyone's likes/dislikes, and I kid you not, they loved it! I know it's a keeper when I get the seal of approval from both brothers! Per usual, I did not measure when making the actual salad, but I did my best for you all!

​

Ingredients:

• 1 - 1 1/2 heads of romaine, chopped 

• 3 pears, chopped

• 1 cup candied pecans, cut into 1/4's

• 1 cup dried cranberries

• 1/2 cup crumbled feta

​

Vinaigrette

• 6 Tablespoons Prosecco Vinegar

• 2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard

• 1/2 cup good Olive Oil

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon sugar

​

In a small bowl or mason jar, mix all the vinaigrette ingredients and set aside. In a large bowl, add romaine, pecans, half of the pears and cranberries. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently.  Top with remaining pears and feta cheese.
