A Little Something on the Side

pearsaladIt happens the same way almost every weekday. Meal planning for weeknight dinners happens on the way home from work and of course, I’m only thinking about the main dish – side dishes are just an afterthought. I end up just going with the same old-same old for the side dishes, which is usually just a big salad. I’ve got to get out of this side dish rut!

So, I went on the hunt for some fresh new salad ideas, that I can whip out in 15 minutes or less. I’ll be trying out a new one tonight, to compliment….. hmmmm…. something. I’ll figure it out on the way home.

Here’s the recipe for  Speedy Pear and Pecan Salad….. finally, something to do with all the leftover Pecans from Christmas baking!
