This recipe is from my favorite chef, Nathan Lyon. I saw him make this on his program and just had to get the recipe, it looked so good. Prep time = cook time.
Ingredients:
1 asian pear, peeled and medium dice
1/2 head radicchio, core removed, sliced thin
2 cups baby greens (beet greens, spinach, or arugula)
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
toasted pecans, crushed (optional)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar or 1/4 teaspoon honey
kosher salt (to taste)
fresh ground pepper (to taste)
2 shallots, small dice
Directions:
1. In a large bowl combine the Asian pear, radicchio, baby greens, blue cheese, and pecans.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar (or honey), pinch of salt, and a few good grinds of pepper.
3. Add the shallots to the vinaigrette then set aside.
4. When serving, dress the greens lightly, season to taste, and serve immediately.
