A lovely twist on the traditional pear and blue cheese pairing. Tender lamb's lettuce and toasted walnuts provide great contrasting textures. Use a vegetable peeler to make thin shavings of Parmesan. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon dry sherry |
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar |
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
8 cups mâche (lamb's lettuce) or mixed baby greens (about 4 ounces) |
1 cup fresh parmesan shavings (about 2 ounces) |
1 large firm bosc pear, peeled, halved, cored, cut crosswise into thin slices (about 8 ounces) |
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted (about 1 1/2 ounces) |
1 shallot, peeled, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Whisk mustard, Sherry, and red wine vinegar in medium bowl to blend. Gradually add oil, whisking until well blended. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
2. Toss mâche, Parmesan, pear, walnuts, and shallot in large bowl to combine. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Divide among plates and serve.
