Autumn Chopped Salad

I have made Autumn Chopped Salad a few times now because it is so tasty!  This salad makes a great side dish or even a light meal anytime of the year!  

Ingredients (printable recipe)
6-8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
2 medium pears, chopped
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup roasted pecans, chopped
8 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
4-6 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
Poppy Seed salad dressing like T. Marzetti's
Balsamic vinaigrette
Directions
1. On a large platter or shallow bowl, combine lettuce, pears, cranberries, pecans, bacon and feta. 
2. In a small bowl, whisk together poppy seed and balsamic dressings. Use about 70 percent poppy seed and 30 percent balsamic vinagrette. Whisk until combined and drizzled over salad and enjoy!

Adapted from Espresso and Cream

I whisked the poppy seed and balsamic vinaigrette together before drizzling on top of the salad.

The Results...
I really like the combination of ingredients in this salad.  Everything tastes great together and there isn't anything "weird" that the kids won't eat.
