Pear Avocado Salad
This is a fool proof favorite at my house. It is a great dressing as all the flavors are amazing. The white balsamic vinegar adds a touch of sweetness, but as always you can use any vinegar. Balsamic, champagne, or apple cider vinegar would all taste good. I love to add toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds to this salad, as it adds a little crunch.
