Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1-1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup pomegranate seeds, divided
1/2 cup raspberry vinegar
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 cup olive oil
1 large pear
1 tsp lemon juice
3 packages (5 oz each) spring mix salad greens
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

Directions:

In a small heavy skillet, melt butter. Add pecans; cook over medium heat until toasted, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon; cook and stir for 2-4 minutes or until sugar is melted. Spread on foil to cool.
For dressing, in a blender, combine 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper; cover and process until smooth. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream.
Cut pear into thin slices; sprinkle with lemon juice. In a salad bowl, combine the greens, pears, blue cheese and candied pecans. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately. Yield: 12 servings (1 cup each).
