1/2 C. pecan halves
2 T. cider vinegar
1 T. chopped shallots
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
7 T. extra-virgin olive oil
1 qt. baby salad greens (such as mache, mizuna, arugula, watercress), washed and
dried
4 seckel pears, quartered, cored and sliced
1/4 lb. blue cheese, preferably made with buttermilk, crumbled
Preheat the oven to 350�F. Spread the pecans out on a baking sheet and toast in
the oven until they smell nutty, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir the pecans once or twice
as they toast. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, shallots, salt and pepper. Slowly
drizzle in the oil, whisking to incorporate. Taste and correct the seasonings.
In a large bowl, toss together the greens, pears, cheese and dressing. Taste and
add more salt and pepper if necessary. Sprinkle the nuts on top and serve
immediately.
