Wine-poached pears, blue cheese, and walnuts make up this elegant salad. It is served on a bed of mixed greens and tastes great combined.
Ingredients: 4 pears, peeled and halved. 1 bottle of white wine. 1 cup water. 1/2 cup honey. 1 cinnamon stick. 4 cups mixed greens. 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese. 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.
Instructions: In a large saucepan, combine the white wine, water, honey, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the pear halves to the simmering liquid and poach for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Remove pears from the liquid and set aside to cool. Once the pears have cooled, arrange the mixed greens on serving plates. Top the greens with the poached pear halves. Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese and chopped walnuts over the pears. Drizzle some of the poaching liquid over the salads as a dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
