Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons pear vinegar

1 tablespoon pear syrup

1 teaspoon pear syrup

- (fresh pear juice reduced to a syrup)

2 teaspoons extra virgin lemon oil

6 cups assorted full-flavored greens

- baby mustard/ lovage/ arugula

- dandelion/ mizzuna/ etc.

1/4 cup tamari pecans -- see recipe

1/4 cup dried currants or chopped raisins

1/4 cup cold Maytag blue cheese -- crumbled

1 ripe Asian pear -- cored and thinly

sliced

 

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.
