Roquefort Pear Salad

This pear and Roquefort salad is the best salad I've ever eaten — I make it all the time! It's tangy from the blue cheese, fruity from the pears, and crunchy from the caramelized pecans. A drizzle of the mustard vinaigrette pulls it all together.

Ingredients List

  • ½ cup pecans

  • ¼ cup white sugar


Directions

  1. Make the pecans: Combine pecans and sugar in a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring gently, until sugar has melted and pecans are caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully transfer nuts onto a sheet of waxed paper to cool.

  2. While the nuts are cooling, make the dressing: Whisk oil, vinegar, sugar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.

  3. Make the salad: Layer lettuce, pears, Roquefort cheese, avocado, and green onions in a large serving bowl. Pour dressing over top.

  4. Break cooled pecans into pieces and sprinkle over salad.
