Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, gently toss pears, salad mix, blue cheese, onion, and almonds. In a separate bowl, mix orange juice, rice vinegar, and sugar. Whisk in canola oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over salad and gently toss; serve immediately.
Cooks Note: if Asian pears are not available, you can substitute fresh peaches, strawberries, or other berries - what ever is in season. Pair this salad with a light crisp wine like a Riesling Spaetlese.
