Sweet and savory. Warm and cool. Crisp and Luscious. This salad has it all.
serves 2
Ingredients
- 1 large firm pear
- 2 tablespoon gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup walnuts
- ¼ head bibb lettuce, rinsed dried and roughly torn
- vinaigrette to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the pear in half lengthwise and carefully remove the core with a paring knife. Slice a small sliver from the bottom side so it will sit flat. Place them onto a baking sheet.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cheese over each pear half and bake until the pear id soft all the way through and the cheese get brown and bubbly. About 12 minutes, depending on the size of your pears.
While the pears bake, quickly toast the walnut halves by in a dry hot pan until fragrant and golden, tossing frequently. About 3 minutes.
Toss the lettuce leaves in a bit of vinaigrette and divide between 2 serving plates. Divide the walnuts between both plates and put a pear on top of it all. Drizzle a bit more vinaigrette over the top and give it a good grinding of black pepper.
that called for a pound of fruit, so I stood on the home scales holding the bowl of fruit, and weighed myself to see if it added a pound, lol
So I need a new one badly!
The cake came out great though…
Congrats to the winner!
I’m a bit slow on the uptake — was wondering ‘Why the knit cap … ?’
Congratulations to the winner whom I know will love this scale. Having fallen behind on your recent posts yet again, I’m off to read the next one — I’d also like to start cooking with weight rather than volume measurements. I’ve got a lot to learn …
I always give your videos a 10.
You are so personable and entertaining, you make me smile even when I’m not winning;)
On the bright side, I’ve talked Alexis into buying this scale for her aroma therapy stuff she’s been doing lately. I convinced her it would help her with her dry ingredient measurements. (“It’s for you, not me!”)
When we buy it this week, we’ll get it through your site.
I am crying (grateful tears) now. I may have to book a flight and come cry on your shoulder! TKS
