This salad never fails to put me in the fall spirit. Pears and blue cheese pair beautifully, but it’s the tart pomegranate seeds that really make this salad special. You can buy pomegranates whole and break them down yourself or purchase just the seeds at most grocery stores. Makes 1 serving

You will need

1 Pear , cored and thinly sliced
 3 cup Spinach leaves, divided
 ½ cup Pomegranate Seeds 
 ¼ cup Roughly chopped Pecans 
 2 oz Crumbled Blue Cheese 
 3 tbsp Sherry Vinaigrette 1 quart-size Mason Jar
Sherry Vinaigrette
2 ½ tbsp Sherry Vinegar 1 pinch Of Salt
