Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons honey
5 tablespoons sherry vinegar
5 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 ripe but firm Bosc pears, cored, each cut into eighths (unpeeled)
8 shallots, halved lengthwise if large
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup water
1 large head frisee, trimmed, leaves separated
2 heads Belgian endive, leaves separated and torn in half if large
3/4 cup walnuts (3 ounces), toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, 3 tablespoons vinegar, and 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange pears and shallots in a single layer in a small roasting pan; pour honey mixture on top, and toss well to coat. Cook until pears and shallots are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 30 minutes, turning them over halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, make vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, 3 tablespoons oil, and mustard; season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove roasted pears and shallots from roasting pan. Place pan over high heat; add the water, and cook, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon, until liquid is reduced by half. Whisk mixture into vinaigrette.
  • Combine frisee and endive in a large bowl; toss with vinaigrette. Divide among plates, and arrange pears, shallots, and walnuts alongside.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover pears. I had some that were starting to get a little soft, so I roasted them and made this salad. It was a delicious and easy way to use them up.

This salad was a delightful surprise! The combination of roasted pears, shallots, and the sherry Dijon vinaigrette was perfect. The pears were tender and caramelized, the shallots added a nice savory note, and the vinaigrette was tangy and flavorful.
