Composed Salad with Pears, Walnuts, Cheese and Honey-Mustard Vinaigrette
Description
There’s a difference of opinion on this one: some of my tasters preferred a sharp wedge of Gorgonzola with the salad, others favoured the milder Brie. You decide what’s best for you. To make this a dinner salad, add grilled chicken and a baguette.
Ingredients
Salad
2 heads butter lettuce (also called Boston lettuce), rinsed, drained, patted dry and torn apart
8 wedges Gorgonzola or Brie
4 pears, peeled, cored and sliced in half lengthwise
8 tsps chopped, toasted walnuts (optional)
Vinaigrette
3 tbsp Dijon or spicy brown mustard
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp cider vinegar
salt & pepper
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Methods/steps
Arrange lettuce on 8 dinner plates.
Sprinkle 1 tsp walnut pieces on each salad. Add 1/2 pear and a wedge of cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, honey and cider vinegar. Add salt and pepper. Whisk in olive oil.
Spoon vinaigrette over each salad.
