SPINACH SALAD WITH CANDIED PEARS, PECANS AND BRIE
The combination of these ingredients is fantastic. The candied pecans give a nice little crunch to the salad. Add some seafood or grilled chicken and you have a full meal. To save time buy the prepackaged washed baby spinach. This recipe came from Rose Reisman's "Secrets for Permanent Weight Loss" cookbook.

[email protected]I didn't have any candied pears, so I used fresh pears instead. The salad was still very good, but I think the candied pears would have added a nice touch.
