Ingredients
- 1 bag spring greens
- 1/2 head romaine lettuce torn into bite sized pieces
- 3 pears cored and sliced thin (like inspo)
- 5 oz blue cheese crumbled
- 1 avocado peeled, pitted, diced
- 1/2 c green onions thinly sliced
- 1/4 c white sugar
- 1/2 c pecans
- 1/3 c olive oil
Dressing
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tsp white sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- fresh ground pepper and salt to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, combine ¼ cup sugar with the pecans. Continue stirring gently until the sugar has melted and caramelized the pecans. Allow pecans to cool by transferring them onto waxed paper. Once they are cool, chop them into pieces.
- Make dressing by blending oil, vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper together.
- In a large bowl, layer lettuce mix, pears, blue cheese, avocado, and green onions. Pour dressing over salad and sprinkle pecans on top.
Notes
STORE any leftover Pear Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To maintain freshness, keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving.
The salad ingredients are not suitable for freezing as they will lose texture and flavor. Enjoy the salad cold for the best experience
