Autumn Chopped Salad - secretrecipes

Tonight I made this yummy salad I had seen on Pinterest.  The recipe comes from Madison and you can find the recipe here on her blog, Espresso and Cream Blog.  It was chopped full of juicy pears, sweet tart dried cranberries, crunchy pecans, salty bacon, and the tang of feta. The dressing was poppy seed and balsamic vinaigrette.  I don't really like the sweetness of poppy seed dressing but adding the vinaigrette really cut through the sweet and made a perfect dressing for this salad.  When pears aren't in season I'm thinking a juicy apple will work too.
