Red Hot Pears Salad Recipe

[Saviolo]

So, a few weeks ago we made those pears canned with hot cinnamon candy (we used Hot Tamales, but Red Hots is more traditional). They are delicious and bright pink! You can just eat them as they are, but we thought we'd like to put them in a recipe to give an example of how we might use them. This salad is one way to use them, and we've definitely eaten this a couple times in the last couple of weeks!

The spring mix we used isn't a particularly bitter green, so we didn't want to over-salt the salad, and we didn't want to make too tart or acidic a dressing. Everything is pretty mild in this recipe, but it has an amazing array of textures and flavours. You can also use regular canned pears or even fresh pears in this as well!

1. That looks amazing!

Beautiful bright red and green would look pretty for Christmas dinner!

2. Hubby did a little bit of colour correction, there :)

The actual pears are more pink than red, but they still look pretty dramatic, and it is super delicious, too.
