MIXED GREENS SALAD WITH PEARS, GOAT CHEESE, AND FIG VINAIGRETTE
I love figs, so when I found this recipe I knew I had to try it. The vinaigrette came out very thick, so I had to adapt it to suit my needs. Pared with the goat cheese and pears, this was wonderful. The vinaigrette's sweet-tart taste makes it well suited for a marinade for grilled or roasted pork and chicken.

Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears: Overripe pears will become mushy when grilled, while underripe pears will not soften enough.
- Use a variety of greens: This will add different flavors and textures to the salad.
- Don't overdress the salad: A light vinaigrette dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the pears and greens.
- Add some nuts or seeds for extra crunch: Walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds are all great options.
- Serve the salad immediately: Grilled pears are best when eaten fresh.
Conclusion:
This grilled pear and mixed greens salad is a delicious and refreshing fall dish. The pears are grilled until they are slightly caramelized and tender, and they pair perfectly with the crisp greens and tangy vinaigrette dressing. This salad is easy to make and can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's also a great way to use up any leftover pears you have on hand.
