TINY Kitchen Perfect Pear Salad
Happy Monday y'all!
Tess here with a simple and delicious meal idea that's under 400 calories a serving: Perfect Pear Salad. This recipe is a favorite of mine not just because of the way it tastes, but because it's ready in mere minutes, giving you precious time back in your evening. I'll be spending mine snuggling my two pups and my hubby while catching up on Netflix.
This recipe is perfect for #MeatlessMonday, and with a sprinkle of gorgonzola cheese and walnuts, it's plenty satisfying. If you are craving a little protein, simple add 1/3 cup shredded chicken breast (skinless and boneless) on top!
