This crispy, sweet salad is so quick and easy to make for a light summer dish. This salad would also be delicious using apples too. To add a bit more crunch, I also added a few toasted pecans. I found this recipe in a Good Housekeeping magazine. Ingredients:
1 large boston lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces |
1 tablespoon olive oil (butter can also be used) |
2 firm but ripe bosc pears or 2 anjou pears, cored and cut lengthwise into 8 wedges |
1/4 cup cider vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground |
Directions:
1. In large serving bowl, place lettuce.
2. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil (or butter) on medium-heat 1 minute. add pears and cook 10 to 15 minutes or until they begin to soften and turn golden.
3. Meanwhile, in cup, stir vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper.
4. Add vinegar mixture to pears in skillet, and cook 1 minute or until liquid begins to thicken.
5. Pour pears and liquid from skillet into bowl with lettuce, toss to coat. Serve immediately.
