Tender lettuce and ripe pears are fantastic with the tangy vinaigrette. You'll want to sneak a couple of the sugared pecans when you assemble the salad! Ingredients:
vinaigrette: |
1/4 cup white wine vinegar |
1/4 cup olive oil |
2 tablespoons minced chives |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 cup half-and-half cream |
salad: |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 cup pecan halves |
1 tablespoon sugar |
2 medium pears, thinly sliced |
2 cups torn leaf lettuce |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the vinegar, oil, chives, sugar, salt and cayenne; whisk in cream until well combined. Set aside.
2. In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat; stir in pecans and sugar. Cook and stir until pecans are toasted and coated with sugar. Remove pecans to paper towels to drain and cool.
3. In a large bowl, combine the pear slices, lettuce, pecans and 1/3 cup vinaigrette and toss to coat. Yield: 4 servings.
