PEAR AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD



Pear and Goat Cheese Salad image

This pear and goat cheese salad is so warm and inviting. It has toasted candied walnuts and a balsamic vinaigrette to top it off. I love putting it over a bed of arugula or artisan lettuce!

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (or avocado, grapeseed, canola)
3/4 tsp dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp honey
Pinch of salt/cracked black pepper
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3-4 pears, sliced
1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
4-5 cups lettuce (see above recommendations, I like artisan, spinach, arugula and spring greens)
Optional add in's: Beets, cucumber, avocado, mushrooms, pomegranate seeds.

Steps:

  • Make homemade balsamic dressing by adding all the ingredients to a mason jar. Shake well to incorporate. If you have an immersion blender, blend ingredients together until creamy.
  • To make the candied walnuts, combine all ingredients together in a small bowl. Stir until each walnut is coated. Place nut mixture on medium-low heat in a saute pan. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently being careful not to burn. Remove from heat after 2 minutes and place aside to cool.
  • Layer lettuce, sliced pears and crumbled goat cheese on a serving platter or in a large bowl. Top with cooled candied walnuts and dressing with balsamic dressing prior to serving.
