Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 firm but ripe pears, halved, cored
1 medium fennel bulb (about 8 ounces), cored, quartered
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/3 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
6 cups (packed) mixed baby greens

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 °F. Arrange pears, cut side up, in 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish; add fennel. Drizzle olive oil and chicken broth over pears and fennel. Roast 10 minutes. Turn pears and fennel over and roast until pears are just tender, about 5 minutes longer. Using slotted spoon, transfer pears to plate. Continue roasting fennel until tender, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer fennel to plate with pears, reserving any cooking liquid. Thinly slice fennel and 2 pear halves lengthwise. Cool completely.
  • Peel remaining 2 pear halves. Transfer peeled pears to processor. Add reserved cooking liquid and vinegar to processor and blend until very smooth. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
  • Divide greens among 4 plates. Top with fennel and pear slices. Drizzle some dressing over each salad. Serve, passing remaining dressing separately.

This salad is amazing! I'm not usually a fan of fennel, but the roasting really mellows it out and brings out its sweetness. The pears and walnuts add a nice crunch and the dressing is the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making this salad

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it with grilled chicken or fish, but it's also great on its own. Thanks for sharing!

I'm so glad you all are enjoying this recipe! It's one of my favorites. If you're looking for a variation, try adding some crumbled blue cheese or roasted beets. They both pair really well with the roasted fennel and pears.

This salad is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. The roasted fennel and pears are perfectly caramelized, and the balsamic pear dressing adds a tangy kick. I highly recommend it!
