Char-grilled pear salad with a creamy blue cheese dressing
When it comes to salads, Mary the host at the Fresh Ingredient, says it's all about simplicity. "My salads generally have only three or four ingeredients, and a fresh homemade dressing." This yummy grilled pear salad is pretty special and a perfect way to kick start a weekend lunch or dinner at home.
lets get
cooking
- 2 baby cos lettuce (romaine)
- 2 firm pears thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup of pecans
- 2/3 cup thin cream
- 2 tablespoons freshley squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespons of crumbled blue vein cheese
The first thing is to pour a glass of wine and turn on the music. Then its time to start by removing the leaves of the baby cos lettuce then wash and spin or pat dry them. Roughly chop the leaves into smaller pieces.
Next char-grill the slices of pear on a hot griddle plate or similar for a few minutes per side until fragrant and golden brown, then toast the pecans and put aside. Get the dressing ready while you grill the pears.
Lighlty combine the baby cos leaves with the creamy blue cheese dressing (as you want) and place on your serving plate. Add the char grilled pear on top of the cos leaves, scatter a little more of the crumbled blue cheese and top with the toasted pecans. Serve and enjoy.
