Spinach salad with Pears

1/2 cup pecans
2 tbl olive oil
1 tbl + 1 tsp distilled white vinegar
1 tbl honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
3 tbs chopped red onion
2 large red or green pears, quartered, cored and cut into thin slices
2 tbs dried cranberries ( called for raisins but I like cranberries)
1 bag(6 oz) prewashed baby spinach
3 oz crumbled feta cheese

Toast the pecans in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring often for 3 to 4 min or until lightly browned and fragrant. Tip onto a plate and let cool.

Whisk oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Stir in onion and then the pears and cranberries. Add spinach and toss to coat.

Divide salad among 4 plates and top with the reserved pecans and cheese before serving.

Salad doesn't keep very well after the first day so I just eat it all :)
