Steps:
- For the pear vinaigrette: Heat the pear juice on stovetop over medium heat to reduce to 1/4 of its original amount, for 40 minutes, until caramelized. Set aside and let cool.
- In a bowl, mix the reduced pear juice, cider vinegar, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Slowly add the canola oil whisking constantly. Season the vinaigrette with salt, and pepper, to taste. Add a little more pear juice or water if the vinaigrette is too thick. Set aside.
- For the salad:
- In a pan, add the olive oil and toast the pine nuts on medium-high heat. Keep an eye on them because they tend to burn fast.
- Place the endives and grapes in a bowl, add the vinaigrette and mix well. Transfer the salad mixture in the serving bowls and garnish with pears, pine nuts and cheese.
Tips:
- Use ripe grapes: The riper the grapes, the sweeter and more flavorful your vinaigrette will be.
- Experiment with different grape varieties: Different grape varieties will give your vinaigrette different flavors. Try using red grapes for a sweeter vinaigrette, green grapes for a tart vinaigrette, or a combination of both for a well-rounded flavor.
- Don't be afraid to add other ingredients: You can add other ingredients to your vinaigrette to create different flavor combinations. Try adding herbs like basil or thyme, spices like garlic or shallots, or even a little bit of honey or Dijon mustard.
- Taste your vinaigrette before using it: Always taste your vinaigrette before using it to make sure it is balanced. If it is too tart, add a little bit of honey or sugar. If it is too sweet, add a little bit of vinegar or lemon juice.
- Store your vinaigrette in a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid: Vinaigrette will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
