Ingredients:
- 4 ripe pears, halved and cored
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Salt
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup pecan oil
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Creole mustard
- 1 shallot, minced
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 5 heads Belgian endive, cored and leaves separated
- 2 handfuls mixed bitter green leaves
- 2 cups blue cheese, crumbled into chunks
- 1/2 cup pecans, toasted
Instructions:
- Begin by heating the oven to 220 °C for the pears. Take a small bowl and coat the pears with olive oil, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the pears are evenly covered. Place the pears on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until they turn a golden brown color. Let them cool down before using.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, pecan oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, and shallots to make the vinaigrette. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large serving bowl, mix the endive leaves and bitter greens together to assemble the salad. Pour the vinaigrette over the greens and toss them until evenly coated. Right before serving, add the roasted pears, blue cheese, and pecans on top of the salad.
