to save it for later.Special Green Salad with Pears, Blue Cheese & Candied Pecans
This salad uses just a few ingredients that delivers the perfect marriage of pears, blue cheese and candied pecans with a delicate balsamic vinaigrette.
I serve this whenever we have company for dinner, and it’s always a big hit!
Ingredients
| Gourmet Salad Greens (I use a spring mixture of red lettuce, romaine & frisee) | |
| 1 | pear, peeled cored and sliced thin |
| Blue Cheese - about ½ cup, crumbled | |
| 1 | cup candied pecans |
| For the dressing: | |
| 3 | parts Extra Virgin Olive Oil |
| 1 | part Balsamic Vinegar |
| 1 | tsp. Dijon Mustard |
Directions
Wash, clean and dry fresh salad greens and keep well chilled until ready to serve the salad.
To the balsamic vinegar and Dijon vinegar, stream in the EVOO until well emulsified.
Taste. Add kosher salt & fresh cracked pepper, if desired.
Right before serving, add the sliced pears and drizzle enough dressing to lightly coat the salad greens. Add a few glazed pecans.
