Ingredients
For The Maple Dijon Dressing
- 1 shallot minced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (can use white wine or champagne vinegar)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard whole grain
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For The Salad
- 8 cups lettuce your choice
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 cup pecans recipe on this site, glazed
- 2 pear peeled, cored and cut into ¼" slices, ripe
- 1 cup blue cheese crumbled
Instructions
Make The Dressing:
- In a small bowl combine the 1 shallot and 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons whole grain dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper and whisk to combine. While whisking drizzle in 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and mix until emulsified. Set aside.
Assemble the salad:
- Wash and dry 8 cups lettuce and transfer to a salad bowl. Drizzle on a few tablespoons of the dressing and toss well to coat the greens. Add more dressing if needed, but don't over-dress the lettuce. You don't want it to be goopy or wet.
- Divide the greens among eight salad plates. Arrange 2 ripe pears (¼ pear per plate) on each portion and fan out the slices.
- Divide 1 cup pomegranate seeds, 1 cup glazed pecans and 1 cup crumbled blue cheese over the salads and serve.
