Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons honey wine vinegar ((see note))
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 head romaine lettuce
2 barely ripe pears ((I used Bartletts))
4 ounces (¾ cup) blue cheese crumbles
½ cup toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Whisk the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. (see note)
  • Gradually drizzle in the olive oil, about a teaspoon at a time, whisking all the time, to make a smooth dressing.
  • Wash the lettuce leaves, dry well. Tear into bite-size pieces.
  • Just before serving, put about half of the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Add the lettuce and toss to coat the leaves lightly. Toss in a little more dressing if you think it's needed, keeping in mind the lettuce should be lightly coated, not weighed down in oil.
  • Build the salad in two layers: Transfer half of the dressed lettuce to a serving bowl. Core and slice the first pear and arrange it over the lettuce. Sprinkle with half of the blue cheese and half of the toasted pecans. Repeat with a second layer.

Romaine With Apple, Pecans and Blue Cheese image

Eating the skin of apples provides about twice the anti-cancer activity as eating only the pulp, Cornell University studies show. That's why this recipe says not to peel the apple. You may wonder about the hefty amount of fat in each serving. Don't: 90% of it is good monounsaturated fat from avocado and pecans.

ROMAINE SALAD W/ BLUE CHEESE, MAPLE-GLAZED PECANS AND MAPLE-MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE



ROMAINE SALAD W/ BLUE CHEESE, MAPLE-GLAZED PECANS AND MAPLE-MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE image

Categories     Salad     Side

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 C pecan halves (4 ounces)
5 Tbls maple syrup
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 Tbsp finely chopped shallots
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tsp dijon mustard
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
6 Tbsp vegetable oil
10 C romaine lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
3 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375* Lightly oil 2 baking sheets. Stir together pecans and 3 Tbsp. maple syrup in a small bowl to coat nuts w/ syrup. Spread pecans in single layer on one of the prepared baking sheets. Bake about 5 minutes, stirring once, until syrup is bubbling vigorously. Immediately spread glazed pecans in single layer on the other prepared baking sheet. Cool. Nuts will become crisp as the cool. In small bowl, whisk together garlic, shallots, salt, pepper, remaining 2 Tbps maple syrup, mustard and vinegar. Continue whisking while adding oil ina thin stream. Toss romaine in large bowl with enough dressing to coat it evenly. Sprinkle salad with blue cheese, then the glazed pecans and serve

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh romaine lettuce. If you can, buy it the same day you plan to make the salad.
  • To make the maple-glazed pecans, use a large skillet so that the pecans have plenty of room to spread out. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pecans. They should be toasted and golden brown, but not burnt.
  • The maple-mustard vinaigrette is a great way to add a sweet and tangy flavor to the salad. Be sure to whisk the dressing well before using.
  • If you don't have blue cheese, you can use another type of cheese that you like, such as feta or goat cheese.

Conclusion:

This romaine salad with blue cheese, maple-glazed pecans, and maple-mustard vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try.
