Ingredients
2 cups mixed salad greens
1/4 cup sliced tomato
1/4 cup sliced carrots
1/4 cup sliced cucumber
1/4 cup bite-sized green bean pieces
1 cup canned pears, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons walnuts
2 tablespoons raisins
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/4 cup non-fat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
Directions
Arrange the salad greens, tomato slices, carrot slices, cucumber slices, and green bean pieces in a large mixing bowl.
Add the drained chopped pears, walnuts, and raisins to the bowl with the vegetables.
In a small separate bowl, combine the white vinegar, plain yogurt, and orange juice. Whisk these ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Pour the yogurt-orange dressing over the salad and gently toss all ingredients until evenly coated.
Divide the salad into four portions and serve immediately.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked year-round at any Charlotte chain—no special trips. The salad costs roughly $3 to $3.50 per serving depending on walnut and pear prices, which is reasonable for a composed salad with protein in walnuts. Fifteen minutes is honest; chopping vegetables and whisking dressing takes that long without padding. The dish is family-friendly, requires no heat or constant attention, and reheats poorly, so it's best eaten fresh at one sitting, which limits flexibility for leftovers on a weeknight.
