Vegan Walnut, Pear and Avocado Salad

February 1, 2022
Jump to Recipe

Here we have another super healthy and super yummy salad recipe :) It is packed with nutritious goodies and the flavour is to die for. I enjoyed these last night on the side of these vegan veggie rissoles.

With just a few ingredients from the shops, and the rest from the pantry, it isn't too difficult to throw this one together!

Although I am not usually the biggest fan of pears, I thought it would work well in this recipe due to it having a bit of a softer flavour. And it turned out perfectly! Between the avocado, walnut, red onion, greens, craisins and the honey mustard vinaigrette, the pear integrated itself so wonderfully.

This is a favourite of mine for sure!




 

Dietary Requirements:

This gorgeous salad is suitable for those with a lactose intolerance, and who are gluten free.
And as Spinach belongs to the Amaranthaceae family, and Pears belong to the Rosaceae family, this salad is nightshade free.
It is also the perfect salad for those following a pescatarian, vegetarian and vegan diet.
