New Salad Recipe

I threw together a salad last night that will most definitely be making future appearances at my table. For the recipe, I'm listing ingredients rather than measurements because it is inexact -- which is a huge part of the appeal. Pistachios or pecans can be subsituted for the walnuts, and other fruit such as apples or peaches can take place of the pears.

For the salad:
- Mixed greens
- Candied or roasted walnuts
- Goat cheese (crumbled)
- Asian pear (diced)
- Regular pear (diced)
- Red grapes (whole)
- Dried cranberries
- Dried blueberries
- Salt & pepper

For the dressing:
- Dijon mustard
- Champagne or sherry vinegar
- Splash of balsamic vinegar
- A few tablespoons of walnut oil
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper

Happy eating!
