A classic salad made with sweet and juice pears that is complimented by tangy crumbled blue cheese. Choose the leafy greens that suit your palate and opt for almonds or candied walnuts as desired.

INGREDIENTS

2 medium USA Pears, sliced (Anjou, Bartlett)
6 cups mixed mesclun (tender leaf) salad greens
¼ cup (~1 oz) hazelnuts, toasted, chopped
1 ounce crumbled blue cheese

Balsamic Vinegar Dressing

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1/8 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl, whisk oil, vinegar, honey and salt together.
Combine the greens and crumbled blue cheese in a bowl. Toss with enough dressing to lightly coat the leaves; you may not need all of it. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Top with pear slices and sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts.
