ROASTED PEAR SALAD



Roasted Pear Salad image

You can roast just about any kind of pear, but for this recipe I prefer the smaller and harder Seckel pears. Once roasted, they'll soften and become surprisingly sweet and floral, a perfect contrast to the salty blue cheese and slightly bitter endive.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 ripe pears, halved and cored
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar
Salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup pecan oil
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon Creole mustard
1 shallot, minced
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
5 heads Belgian endive, cored and leaves separated
2 handfuls mixed bitter green leaves
2 cups blue cheese, crumbled into chunks
1/2 cup pecans, toasted

Steps:

  • For the pears, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl, drizzle the pears with the olive oil, sprinkle with the sugar and salt, and toss to coat well. Transfer the pears to a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool.
  • For the vinaigrette, whisk together the olive oil, pecan oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, and shallots in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To assemble the salad, combine the endive leaves and bitter greens in a large serving bowl. Add the vinaigrette and toss to coat well. Wait until just before serving to top with the pears, blue cheese, and pecans.

ROASTED BEET, PEACH AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD



Roasted Beet, Peach and Goat Cheese Salad image

This salad is a bit of work, but it's so delicious and always impresses guests. Mache can be hard to find, so you may omit it and just use arugula, but it adds a great nutty flavor if you can find it.

Time 2h40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 beets, scrubbed
1 bunch mache (lamb's lettuce), rinsed and dried
1 bunch arugula, rinsed and dried
2 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted, and sliced
2 shallots, chopped
¼ cup pistachio nuts, chopped
1 (4 ounce) package goat cheese, crumbled
¼ cup walnut oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Wrap each beet in two layers of aluminum foil, and place onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the beets are tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Allow the beets to cool slightly, then remove the skins. Let the beets cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until cold. Once cooled, thinly slice the beets.
  • Place the mache and arugula into a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced beets and peaches; sprinkle with the shallots, pistachios, and goat cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together the walnut oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until emulsified, and pour over the salad mixture. Toss well, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm pears: Pears that are too soft will not hold their shape during roasting.
  • Roast the pears cut-side up: This will allow the natural sugars to caramelize and create a delicious glaze.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Goat cheese, walnuts, and honey are classic toppings for roasted pears, but you can also try other combinations, such as blue cheese, pecans, and maple syrup.
  • Serve immediately: Roasted pears are best served warm, so make sure to prepare the other components of the salad ahead of time.
