Groovy Green Pear and Radish Salad

So....I don't even know why I put the "groovy" in there....I'm in this hippie mood I suppose... I'm into tons of color even though it's so close to fall.

Anyway...this is an awesome salad! Lots of green lettuce and spinach ( for extra iron! ) and radishes for extra crunch...yummy red tomato and a pear for sweetness, paired with a tangy pesto vinaigrette.

   
After I had already tasted the salad...another spark of creativity...Edamame! YAY!  It just added a little something extra. But you can try it both ways..with or without. It's great either way. It's also pretty good with grilled chicken stuffed in a pita...just saying..
