Pear and Greens Salad with Maple Vinaigrette

Ingredientes

Vinaigrette:

1/4 c real maple syrup or maple flavored syrup

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (maybe try red)

1/2 tsp dijon mustard

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 c canola or vegetable oil

Salad:

1/3 c pecan halves

8 cups torn salad greens

3 medium pears, peeled, cut into wedges

Instruções

In small bowl, mix all vinaigrette ingredients except oil with wire whisk. Beat in oil until blended.

Place pecans in 1 c glass measuring cup. Microwave on high 2 minutes to 2 minutes 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until browned.

Divide salad greens among 6 serving plates. Arrange pear wedges on greens; sprinkle with pecans and cranberries. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad.

Notes: I made 1/2 the vinaigrette recipe. It was a little too sweet. Try using a little less maple syrup.
