Beautiful salads really can set off a meal in a positive way, can’t they? Don’t you just love the look of a fresh summer salad bursting with ready to eat produce? Even if the rest of my meal doesn’t feel gourmet, my salads seem to set the stage for beauty at the table. 
This Raspberry Pear Romaine is one of those salads. It is bursting with summer excitement. Raspberries, pears, feta, romaine and all topped off with a raspberry dressing. I think that you will find that this salad is a great addition to your dinner table or to a large gathering of friends.

Join the discussionThis looks really good. I tried something similar and the dressing ruined it(store bought)I don’t know why I am so intimidated with making my own. Maybe I will try to make this one because it sounds very fresh tasting. Thanks
Michelle, it was so EASY. I was done in 5 minutes with the dressing. It took me longer to cut up the salad. And most dressing recipes don’t make nearly the amount you buy in a bottle so there is less guilt over wasted dressing that doesn’t taste good. Oh yea, and making it is cheaper too. I know you can do it.
I think I will try this one. Is grape seed oil at reg stores or easy to find?
Yes, it is usually with all the other oils at the grocery store. You can use olive oil as well.
