Autumn Chopped Salad

This is a favorite salad of mine.  Love the pear and feta combination!

6 to 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce 2 medium pears, chopped 1 cup dried cranberries 1 cup chopped pecans 8 slices thick-cut bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled 4 to 6 oz. feta cheese, crumbled Poppy seed Salad Dressing (I like T. Marzetti) Balsamic Vinaigrette (I like Newman’s Own Light Balsamic Vinaigrette) On a large platter, combine the lettuce, pears, cranberries, pecans, bacon and feta cheese. Drizzle with poppy seed dressing, followed by some of the balsamic vinaigrette. (I would estimate that I used about a cup of dressing: 70 percent poppy seed dressing and 30 percent balsamic vinaigrette) If you prefer your salad to have more dressing, feel free to experiment with the combination.
