side dishes | This scrumptious salad is brimming with fresh greens, sliced pears, ruby-red cranberry dressing, crunchy nuts and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

1/2 cup canned cranberry sauce, whole-berry or jellied
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
8 cup mixed baby greens
3 medium pear(s), ripe, cored and thinly sliced
2 oz honey-roasted almonds, walnuts or pecans (about 6 Tbsp)
6 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, shaved (use a vegetable peeler to get shavings)
Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together cranberry sauce, vinegar, water, oil and mustard; season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Place greens in a large serving bowl. Add dressing, pears, cheese and nuts; toss to mix and coat. Scatter shaved Parmesan on top. Yields about 1 1/3 cups per serving.

Notes

Thinly sliced apples make a great substitute for the pears in this salad.
