Asian Pear, Blue Cheese and Chicory Salad

I love Asian pears, they have a taste similar to regular pears with a crunchy texture similar to apples, they are absolutely delicious. The kids and I went apple picking a little while ago and during that trip with also picked some Asian pears.

I had two Asian pears remaining in my refrigerator along with some blue cheese that needed to be used up, so I decided to make a variation of one of my favorite pear and blue cheese salads from epicurious.com.


Asian Pear, Blue Cheese and Chicory Salad

For this salad, I decided to use chicory, because I like the pretty curling leaves. I’ve also used regular red or green leaf lettuce in this salad. Baby lettuces or arugula would also work nicely.

This salad is so easy to put together. First, you toss the salad greens in a simple mustardy vinaigrette. Then, you arrange slices of Asian pear on either individual salad plates or on a platter. Next, mound on the dressed greens and top with toasted pecans and blue cheese. Finally, drizzle some of the vinaigrette on top.

The resulting Asian Pear, Blue Cheese and Chicory Salad is so delicious, full or flavor and has a nice crunch.
