Pear and Roquefort Salad
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 head green leaf lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 medium pears - peeled, cored and chopped
  • 5 ounces Roquefort cheese, crumbled
  • 1 medium avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components for the dish.
2
Prepare the pecans: Mix pecans and sugar in a skillet heated over medium heat. Stir occasionally until sugar dissolves and pecans achieve a deep golden color, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
3
Transfer the cooled nuts onto a sheet of waxed paper to allow them to cool completely.
4
Simultaneously, prepare the dressing: Blend oil, vinegar, sugar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl using a whisk.
5
Assemble the salad: Arrange lettuce, pears, Roquefort cheese, avocado, and green onions in a large serving dish in layers. Pour the prepared dressing over the top of the salad.
6
Sprinkle broken pecans over the salad to complete it.
