Ingredients

SALAD:

6 cups of baby mesclun greens.

3 baby vidalia onions.

1 cup pecans (I have left them whole and chopped them a little-your choice).

2 ripe Anjou pears (can also used canned in a pinch).

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.

6-8 ounces of chevre (goat cheese).

DRESSING:

2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice.

2 Tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette.

4 Tablespoons olive oil.

1/2 teaspoon salt (I use sea salt).

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper.

1 teaspoon sugar or Splenda sweetener.

Directions

Wash and dry greens and place in a large bowl.

Wash, trim and slice Vidalia onions and add to greens.

Add pecans to mixture.

Rinse core and coarsely chop the pears. Toss with 1 t. lemon juice. Add to greens.

Crumble the chevre into 1/2 inch chunks and toss with greens mixture.

In a small saucepan, heat the dressing ingredients.

When warm, pour over salad and toss.

The greens will wilt and the chevre will begin to soften.

Serve immediately.

You can also add other things to it such as...grape tomatoes, celery, endive or artichoke hearts etc.

I found another recipe where you cut the goat cheese into 1" thick rounds, dip in egg and coat in breadcrumbs and thyme. Brown til crispy in a skillet then add to this salad. I also toasted the pecans in the skillet too. Your salad was a wonderful vehicle for this! Yummmmmmmm
