📝 Preparation Steps
1
To a blender add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, diced shallot and season with salt and pepper to taste (I used a 1/4 +1/8 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper).
honey1 Tbspdijon mustard1 tsp
2
Blend mixture until well emulsified, about ⏱️ 20 seconds. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to serve.
3
In a medium skillet melt butter along with brown sugar over medium heat. Once mixture has melted add walnuts and cook, stirring constantly until caramelized, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate in a single layer to cool.
4
Layer lettuce and pears in a large bowl and toss with dressing, then top with parmesan, dried cranberries and candied walnuts and serve (alternately just layer all the salad ingredients then drizzle with dressing. Note: top this salad with dressing just before serving as it will wilt the lettuces after a while).
Pears, (sliced thin (Bartlett or Anjou are great))2
