A delightful salad featuring ripe pears and tangy blue cheese, all tied together with a sharp shallot vinaigrette.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, or spring mix)
  • 2 ripe pears (Bosc or Anjou)
  • 100g blue cheese (crumbled)
  • 1 shallot (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the mixed greens. Slice the pears thinly and crumble the blue cheese.
  2. Whisk olive oil, apple cider vinegar, shallot, honey, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the greens, sliced pears, and crumbled blue cheese. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently.
  4. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For a twist, consider grilling or roasting the pears. Store leftovers in an airtight container, keeping the dressing separate.
