ROASTED PEAR AND PECAN SALAD
A light and lovely fresh tasting salad. I had this in a restaurant recently and went about making one myself. I am still playing with variations but judging by how much my DH ate, this one is a winner! I enjoy the cheese and pecans in the salad but you can mix it up and use walnuts and skip the cheese. It all depends on your personal preferences.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 400°C.
- Wash and core Pears, slicing into 1/4 inch wedges (approx. 8 wedges per pear).
- Lay pears on a baking sheet (I line it with parchment paper). Season with the salt and pepper and drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil.
- Bake for 5 minutes, then turn the pear wedges over and bake for another 5 - 7 minutes until roasted yet still firm. Cool.
- Wisk together the remaining Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar and Dijon Mustard.
- Pour the mixture over the pears (I like to cut the pears into cubes for bit sized pieces). Mix in the chopped Onion. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors mix.
- Add the Pecans and Cheese (if using) just before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right pears: Use ripe but firm pears that will hold their shape when tossed in the salad.
- Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch to the salad.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
- Assemble the salad just before serving: This will prevent the pears from turning brown and the salad from getting soggy.
Conclusion:
This parsnip, pear, and pecan salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy these fall vegetables. The sweet pears and crunchy pecans pair perfectly with the earthy parsnips, and the tangy dressing brings it all together. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or dinner party.
