ASIAN PEAR SALAD

Asian Pear Salad image

This recipe is from my favorite chef, Nathan Lyon. I saw him make this on his program and just had to get the recipe, it looked so good. Prep time = cook time.

Provided by kitty.rock

Categories Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 4 1/2 cup servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 Asian pear, peeled and medium dice
1/2 head radicchio, core removed, sliced thin
2 cups baby greens (beet greens, spinach, or arugula)
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
toasted pecans, crushed (optional)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar or 1/4 teaspoon honey
kosher salt (to taste)
fresh ground pepper (to taste)
2 shallots, small dice

Steps:

In a large bowl combine the Asian pear, radicchio, baby greens, blue cheese, and pecans.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar (or honey), pinch of salt, and a few good grinds of pepper.
Add the shallots to the vinaigrette then set aside.
When serving, dress the greens lightly, season to taste, and serve immediately.

Tips:

Choose ripe but firm pears. Overripe pears will be too soft and mushy for the salad, while unripe pears will be hard and crunchy.
Use a variety of pears. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Bartlett, Bosc, Anjou, and Comice pears.
Slice the pears thinly. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make them easier to eat.
Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Serve the salad immediately. Once the pears are tossed with the dressing, they will start to soften and lose their crunch.

Conclusion:

This Asian pear salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pears, crunchy walnuts, and creamy goat cheese is sure to please everyone at your table. Plus, it's a healthy and easy-to-make recipe that can be ready in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing salad, give this Asian pear salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
