Ingredients:

Serving

1 head leaf lettuce torn into bite size pieces
3 whole pears peeled, cored, and chopped
5 oz roquefort cheese crumbled
1 whole avocado peeled, pitted and diced
1/2 cup green onions thinly sliced
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup pecans
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp white sugar
1 1/2 tsp prepared mustard
1 clove garlic chopped
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

In a skillet over medium heat, stir 1/4 cup of sugar together with the pecans. Continue stirring gently until sugar has melted and caramelized the pecans. Carefully transfer nuts onto waxed paper.** Allow to cool, and break into pieces.
For the dressing, blend oil, vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, mustard, chopped garlic, salt, and pepper.
In a large serving bowl, layer lettuce, pears, blue cheese, avocado, and green onions. Pour dressing over salad, sprinkle with pecans, and serve.
** This is the original recipe. I have found that the pecans stick to the wax paper, so I don't do this. I just put the pecans in a glass bowl to cool so I don't have to contend with picking off little scraps of melted wax paper...
