Pear Salad with Blue Cheese and Pine Nuts Recipe image

Provided by sheberger

Number Of Ingredients 12

Dressing:
2 large ripe pears cut in 1/2 inch cubes
1 1/2-2 bags greens, your favorite kind
1 pkg blue cheese
1/4 c toasted pine nuts (can add more as you like)
1 large shallot minced
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbps red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/8 tsp salt and 3/4 tsp coarse black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Combine dressing ingredients in small jar and shake to combine or whisk together. Chill at least 1 hour before serving. This is important. It makes a difference. 2. Toast pine nuts at 350 degrees about 8-10 minutes, be careful because they will burn! Let cool. 3. Combine greens, pears, blue cheese, pine nuts and toss with dressing. Serve immediately. I like to let people put their own dressing on. Sometimes people are picky about that. ENJOY!!!
