Ingredients
2 canned pear halves
6 cups mesclun mix baby greens
½ tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1⅓ cups grated carrots
3 tablespoons walnuts
¼ cup pear juice
¼ teaspoon cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon honey
¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 dash salt and black pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Prepare the dressing by combining the pear juice, cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a blender. Add the extra virgin olive oil and blend until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Place the mesclun mix in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the pear dressing over the greens and gently toss until all the leaves are lightly coated.
Drain the canned pears and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Add the chopped pears, walnuts, and grated carrots to the bowl with the dressed greens. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Divide the salad evenly among 6 serving plates, using approximately 1 cup per portion. Top each serving with 1/2 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
