Description

Spinach, pear, and goat cheese salad with honey mustard dressing. A simple and elegant salad, perfect for date night or Valentine’s Day.


Ingredients

Scale

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2–4 teaspoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Salad

  • 1 D’anjou pear, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup roasted pecans
  • 2 oz goat cheese
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach
  • 8 oz rib-eye, New York, or filet mignon steak, optional (I like ButcherBox for convenience and quality)

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing in your serving bowl. Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, and honey. While whisking, drizzle in oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Cook the steak, if using, using your favorite method to the desired doneness.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients to the dressing and lightly toss right before serving. Divide into two servings.
