Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup hazelnuts
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons crystallized ginger

2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 head butter lettuce, rinsed and dried

Steps:

  • Spread hazelnuts in a shallow baking pan and toast in 350 oven until pale golden about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then rub off as much of skins as possible with your fingers. Chop nuts coarsely and set aside.

I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit too sweet for my taste. I also found the dressing to be a bit too thick.

This salad was a disappointment. The pears were not ripe enough and the hazelnuts were stale. The dressing was also bland.
