A really quick salad that, with good bread & a grilled steak or chicken breast makes a quick meal. I used a Pear Chardonnay vinegar the last time I made it & it was great but any high quality white wine vinegar will do. Read more . I use Wegmans buttery brie for my preferred cheese. If your market has a staffed cheese dept. ask them for a mild brie.
Ingredients:
2 c baby greens
2 medium to large pears ( use red pears)
fairly firm brie cheese , well chilled
lemon juice
olive oil
good quality white wine vinegar
Directions:
1. Slice the pears thin & toss in a bowl with lemon juice to prevent discoloring.
2. Drain & toss again with 4 T white wine vinegar.
3. Put 1/2 C greens on each of 4 plates.
4. Divide pear slices among 4 plates & drizzle with olive oil.
5. Remove cheese from refrigerator & slice thinly with a serrated knife. Arrange sliced cheese over the pear mixture. Use as much as you like but don't overwhelm the pears, just accent them with the cheese.
6. Taste & add more wine vinegar if needed.
