Autumn Chopped Salad

6-8 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
4-6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
T. Marzetti salad dressing
Newman's Own Light

On a large platter, combine the lettuce, pears, cranberries, pecans, bacon and feta cheese. Drizzle generously with poppy seed dressing, followed by some of the balsamic vinaigrette. (I use about 1 cup of dressing with 70 percent poppy seed to 30 percent balsamic vinaigrette.)
