Ingredients

1/2 bartlett pear-sliced and cut into bite size pieces

1/4 green apple-shredded (soaked in orange juice to keep from turning brown)

1/2 an endive head-sliced

small handful of bitter green such as baby arugula

2 TBSP crumbled blue cheese

fresh cracked pepper from a mill

dressing

2 TBSP balsamic vinegar

1 TBSP maple syrup (or honey or sugar)

1 clove of garlic-crushed

regular olive oil (not virgin)-to taste-about 4-6 TBSP

Directions

Combine all ingredients for dressing in a small jar or plastic container and shake until emulsified...about 2/3 oil and 1/3 other liquids. Set aside.

Mix endive and arugula in a medium size bowl with shredded apple.

Drizzle lightly with some dressing and toss gently, thoroughly coating each piece.

Arrange pear on top and drizzle with about another 1 TBSP dressing.

Add blue cheese and finish with fresh cracked pepper.

Enjoy!

*the reason not to use virgin olive oil is that the flavour is too heavy and wil overpower the light taste of this salad.

Pear/apple and blue cheese - one of my favorite combos, but I don't usually add garlic or sweetener to the dressing and I sprinkle on the blue cheese with a heavy hand. (We usually get the extra stinky stuff.) Something to try with a milder blue!
