Calcium Enriched Pear & Celery Salad Recipe

Posted on 07.23.13 | Leave a Comment

crunchy-pear-and-celery-saladSince it’s summer a nice light salad is an ideal dinner that won’t weigh to heavy on you and is also healthy.  We searched at Eatingwell.com to find a calcium enriched diet recipe that would accommodate those ideals and found this fantastic and easy to make salad.

Ingredients:

  • 4 stalks celery, trimmed and cut in half crosswise
  • 2 tablespoons cider, pear, raspberry or other fruit vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe pears, preferably red Bartlett or Anjou, diced
  • 1 cup finely diced white Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted (see Tip)
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 6 large leaves butterhead or other lettuce

Directions:

  1. Soak celery in a bowl of ice water for 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Whisk vinegar, honey and salt in a large bowl until blended. Add pears; gently stir to coat. Add the celery, cheese and pecans; stir to combine. Season with pepper. Divide the lettuce leaves among 6 plates and top with a portion of salad. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
  3. Prepare salad without pecans up to 2 hours ahead. Stir in pecans just before serving.
  4. To toast chopped pecans, cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
