A wonderful fresh salad to enjoy when pears are in season. This receipe calls for “mâche” salad, also known as Corn Salad, or Lamb Salad, which adds a great texture to complement the pears. If you cannot find mâche then try arugula (rocket) instead.

This red wine vinaigrette dressing has a touch of maple syrup, which works great with the pears.

Be sure to make the candied pecans ahead of time, so they are cool to add to the salad.

The Saint Agur blue cheese is wonderful with the pears, but if you cannot find this soft and creamy blue use another blue cheese.

Ingredients

Mâche salad
1 Bartlett Pear (or any ripe slightly firm pear)
Candied Pecans
Red Wine Vinaigrette Dressing
Blue Cheese (Saint Agur)

Method

Toss the mâche salad with the vinaigrette dressing to lightly coat the leaves.
Core and thinly slice the pear, and layout over the dressed salad
Crumble the blue cheese over the pears
Garnish with candied pecan nuts
Drizzle lightly with more of the vinaigrette.
