Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup verjus or 3 tbsp white grape juice and 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup grapeseed oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
3 bunches fresh thyme sprigs
4 ripe but firm bartlett pears (about 2 1/2 lb), halved, cored
1/4 cup honey
1 head of butter lettuce , coarsely torn
4 oz baby arugula
6 oz blue cheese, sliced or coarsely crumbled
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted, coarsely chopped

Directions:

For dressing: Whisk all ingredients in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
For pears and salad: Preheat oven to 400°F. Scatter thyme sprigs on rimmed baking sheet. Place pear halves, cut side down, on work surface. Starting 1/2 inch from stem and leaving pear half intact, cut each lengthwise into scant 1/3- to 1/2-inch-wide slices. Press pear gently to fan slices; place atop thyme sprigs. Drizzle pears with honey; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until pears are tender, about 15 minutes. Let stand on baking sheet at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours.
Combine lettuce and arugula in large bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat. Divide salad among plates. Place pear alongside greens. Garnish salads with cheese; sprinkle with nuts.
Ingredient tip: Lane Crowther uses and Oregon blue cheese from Rogue Creamery, but other good choices are Point Reyes (from California's Marin county) or Maytag blue, which is sold in many markets.
