Do you know the best part about this Quinoa, Pear and Spinach Jar Salad recipe? And no, it’s not the cute jar for serving! In my opinion, the best part about this quinoa, pear, pecan, shallot, dried cherries and baby spinach combo, stuffed inside a mason jar, is the maple and balsamic dressing.
Make extra and save it for later, it works with so many salad varieties too.
To make Quinoa, Pear and Spinach Jar Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, whisk 4 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1½ tablespoons of maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon of salt and some freshly ground black pepper and combine well.
Begin with 2 tablespoons of the prepared dressing at the base of the mason jar then top with ½ cup of cooked quinoa and then layer with diced pear, 2 tablespoons of chopped pecans, then 2 tablespoons of chopped shallot, followed by 2 tablespoons of dried cherries or cranberries and finally fill the jar with 2-3 cups of baby spinach.
Seal jar and store in the fridge until ready to eat.
Pour ingredients into a salad serving bowl, toss and enjoy!
