Sometimes, it's nice to have a healthy salad in the mix. File this one until your next holiday meal if you want something fresh and green.
PEAR AND BLUE CHEESE SALAD
Dressing:
1/3 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon style mustard
4 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
Salad:
1 (10 ounce) bag of mixed salad greens
2 pears, peeled and diced
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Place all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk together until combined. Place salad greens in a large bowl. Add diced pear, blue cheese and pecans. Just before serving, pour in salad dressing and toss gently.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

When I take this to a gathering, I keep the salad ingredients separate until just before serving. Then mix them up and toss with the dressing (which I take already mixed in a little jar).
By the way, the dressing can actually cover more salad greens than included in the recipe, so use more lettuce if you need it for a larger group.
I used Romaine this time, but usually get some other fancy greens to mix in at the holidays.
