Asian Pear Salad

[Guest guest]

Here is the final entry from the exec chef at Heart Beat for a feast

dinner. Although this salad contains some pecans and a little blue

cheese, note how little oil he uses in the dressing.

 

I was unable to actually compute the %CFF, and I suspect this salad

by itself exceeds the list guidelines. However, the total meal is

well within our 30% CFF guidelines.

ASIAN PEAR SALAD W/TAMARI PECANS & MAYTAG BLUE CHEESE

 

Place the pear vinegar and pear syrup in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in

the lemon-o and set aside. 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

do not want the cheese crumbles to begin sticking together. Divide the

salad onto the center of 2 chilled salad plates and garnish by fanning the

pear slices around each salad.
