Salad Greens with Pears, Fennel and Walnuts - 14g Carbs, 4g Fiber

From: www.mayoclinic.com By Mayo Clinic staff

Healthy carb = whole fruits & vegetables, at least 50% whole grains
and no more than 1 tsp of sugar per serving
Low sodium = no more than 140 mg of sodium per serving

Dietitian's tip: Resembling a rounded, swollen cluster of celery
stalks with green-tinged ribs, fennel is related to the herb and
spice seeds of the same name. All share a mild, sweet licorice
flavor. Strip away any coarse outer portion of the fennel bulb
before using in recipes.
Serves: 6

6 cups mixed salad greens
1 medium fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 medium pears, cored, quartered and thinly sliced
2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped
3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Divide the salad greens onto 6 plates. Scatter the fennel and pear
slices over the greens. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and walnuts.
Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Add black pepper, to taste.
Serve immediately.
