Sweet pears and grilled sweet pepper with peppery spring mix; this salad is perfect for a lite and healthy summer lunch.

This salad is by-far one of my favorite thing to serve on side with grilled meats. Whenever we are grilling some meat or chicken for dinner or weekend lunch, I also marinate some veggies and grill on the side. Quick addition of seasonal fruit such as pear and bunch of greens! You have it! The best side salad ever!

I like to even save some grilled sweet peppers and pack same salad for lunch the next day!

In this version, I have also added, my favorite, grilled asparagus. There are no hard or fast rules. We just go by what we have in refrigerator. You can use any combination you like. A few veggies, some fruit for daily fruit serving and greens - salad is ready!

So make it your own, grab your favorite veggies and fruit from refrigerator and make a scrumptious salad to accompany lunch or pack for lunch!

Enjoy!
