Pear and Brie Salad with Honey Champagne Vinaigrette:

This gorgeous salad was inspired by our time spent in Sundance Utah. When I say I love fall, Sundance is the biggest reason why, just look how magical it is!
 

 

Now that you see my inspiration for this salad, let’s get to work This salad is made with baby greens, sweet ripe pears, creamy, buttery French brie cheese, dried cranberries, salty Marcona almonds and avocado. Yum! All of this goodness is drizzled in a simple champagne vinaigrette. Delicious!
