Ingredients:
1 small head boston lettuce, rinsed, dried, and torn into pieces |
1 bunch watercress, rinsed, dried, and stalks removed |
2 ripe pears, cored and sliced |
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese |
1/2 cup walnut halves |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon sugar (optional) |
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/2 lemon, juiced |
1 clove garlic, minced |
5 tablespoons tarragon vinegar |
1/2 cup vegetable oil |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1 egg, slightly beaten |
1/4 cup light cream |
Directions:
1. Divide the greens among 4 salad plates and chill. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing: Combine all the ingredients in a jar and shake vigorously to blend. When ready to serve, arrange the pear slices over the chilled greens. Top with blue cheese and walnuts and drizzle with 1 or 2 spoonfuls of dressing. Put the remaining dressing in a bowl and pass separately.
2. *RAW EGG WARNING
3. Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
