Honey Tips

How Honey Is Created

Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.

Directions

In a large bowl toss lettuce, pear slices, cranberries, walnuts and scallions.
In a small bowl combine yogurt, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Pour over salad and toss. Serve immediately.
