Pear & Apple Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Vinaigrette Recipe
Lemon vinaigrette drizzled over apples and pears.Who else besides me get excited about food shopping? What I love the most is finding something new. i discovered the most adorable petite pears. After snatching up a few of them, I decided to make a Pear & Apple Salad. It “pairs” so well with this Lemon Poppy Seed Vinaigrette.
To optimize the juice you get from a lemon or lime, roll it hard under your palm for a minute before juicing. (Or — never say I told you this — microwave it for 10 to 15 seconds.)
