A vibrant and colorful salad featuring ripe pears, tangy pomegranate seeds, and creamy gorgonzola cheese, perfect for autumn gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe pear
  • 1 shallot
  • 1/2 cup pecan pieces
  • 8 cups mixed baby greens
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/3 cup gorgonzola cheese crumbles
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or honey)
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon onion flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup grapeseed oil
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Whisk the dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar (or honey), white vinegar, dry mustard, onion flakes, kosher salt, and grapeseed oil until emulsified, then add the poppy seeds.
  2. Slice the pear and shallot: Thinly slice the pear and shallot evenly for a consistent flavor.
  3. Prepare pomegranate seeds: If using fresh, cut and remove the seeds gently; if packaged, check for quality.
  4. Toast the pecans: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and golden.
  5. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced pears, shallots, toasted pecans, pomegranate seeds, and gorgonzola cheese.
  6. Drizzle with dressing: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Notes

For a milder onion flavor, soak sliced shallots in cold water for 10 minutes. Substitute gorgonzola with feta or goat cheese as desired.
