Beet and Pear Spinach Salad with Walnuts and Orange Vinaigrette Dressing

This is "a salad that doesn't taste like a salad," as my boyfriend puts it. Now that is what I call cunning cookery. This combines the fruity flavors of a fall afternoon with the rustic classic, Greek salad. Not too shabby for a healthily delicious entree.

It's difficult to have exact measurements for salad, so go with your hunch for the proportions.

Ingredients:
For the salad:
Spinach, rinsed
Roughly chopped walnuts
Crumbled feta cheese
1 whole beet, sliced thin
1 pear, sliced thin

For the Orange Vinaigrette dressing:
Juice of one orange (about 1/2 cup)
2 tbsp. regular olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
1/2 tbsp. honey

Assemble the spinach, walnuts and feta in a bowl. Whisk together all the ingredients for the orange vinaigrette dressing and toss with the salad. Add the sliced beet and pear to the salad and serve.
