Pear and Greens Salad

By Linda Larsen, About.com

Winter is the ideal time for pears, so this salad is a wonderful way to use fresh fruit at its peak. Prepare the pears and toss the salad with the dressing just before serving.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. celery seed
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • dash pepper
  • 2 heads butter lettuce, torn into pieces
  • 2 pears, cored and chopped
  • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts
  • 1/2 cup crumbled bleu cheese

Preparation:

Combine oil, vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper in a jar with a very tight lid. Shake well until sugar is dissolved and the dressing is blended. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Combine all salad ingredients and pour dressing over, tossing to coat. Serves 6
