Cost per serving $1.02 view details
  • 2 Tbsp. pear vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. pear syrup plus
  • 1 tsp pear syrup (fresh pear juice reduced to a syrup)
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin lemon oil
  • 6 c. assorted full-flavored greens (baby mustard, lovage, arugula, dandelion, mizzuna, etc.)
  • 1/4 c. Tamari Pecans (see below)
  • 1/4 c. dry currants or possibly minced raisins
  • 1/4 c. cool maytag blue cheese crumbled
  • 1 x ripe Asian pear cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp. high-quality tamari
  • 2 tsp molasses Salt to taste Cayenne pepper to taste
  • 1 c. shelled pecan halves

Directions

  1. Place the pear vinegar and pear syrup in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the lemon oil and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the greens, tamari pecans, and currants. Sprinkle over with the blue cheese, then drizzle over with the dressing. Toss the salad gently and briefly, as you don't want the cheese crumbles to begin sticking together.
  3. Divide the salad onto the center of 4 chilled salad plates and garnish by fanning the pear slices around each salad.
  4. For the Tamari Pecans: Combine the tamari and molasses. Season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper. Toss with the pecans till they are well coated. Transfer the pecans onto a kitchen towel and allow to briefly drain.
  5. Roast the pecans in a preheated 350 degree oven on an icing rack till the pecans are fairly dry and toasted. Remove from the oven and allow to cold completely. Chop the pecans into 1/4-inch pcs.
  6. This recipe yields 4 servings.
