Instructions:
- Rinse the 2 cups of spinach under cold water to remove any dirt. Spin dry or pat with paper towels until completely dry.

- Core the pear and slice it thinly or into small chunks, according to your preference.
- Add the sliced ham, diced red pepper, and sliced pear to the bowl with the spinach.
- Drizzle 2 teaspoons of vinegar over the salad. You may use any type of vinegar, such as balsamic, apple cider, or red wine vinegar, based on your taste preference.
- Toss the salad gently to ensure the vinegar is evenly distributed throughout.
- Arrange the salad on individual plates or serve it directly from the mixing bowl.
- Optionally, add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

- 4: A light drizzling of high-quality vinegar can elevate the salad's overall taste. Adjust the amount to your preference.
- 5: Combine the salad ingredients just before serving to maintain the freshest texture.
