Super tasty pub salad

Amazing Pub Salad

Lettuce (or spinach or salad mix or chard)
A pear or an apple (pear is best)
Fresh goat cheese
Walnuts or pecans
Croutons
Balsamic vinaigrette dressing
Dates (optional)
Smoked salmon (optional)

Wash lettuce, tear with your hands into small pieces and put in a LARGE bowl. Cut up the pear or apple into small chunks (about the size of a crouton or smaller) and add to the bowl. Crumble the walnuts/pecans and add to the bowl. If you are adding dates, pit them and cut them up and add to bowl. Crumble the goat cheese over the salad. The best way to do this is to take a fork and gently scrape the goat cheese from the package into the salad. If you are using smoked salmon, cut it up and throw it in. Add croutons. Add dressing. Mix everything around with a couple forks or salad tongs if you are fancy. Eat.

Note: the ingredients to this can get soggy. If you are preparing this for later or expect leftovers, put the dressing and croutons on individual bowl portions.

Feeds: 1-4 people depending on hunger, portion sizes, and willingness to share.
