Method

Prepare Salad Base

  1. 1

    Wash Spinach

    Rinse the baby spinach under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels.

    Slice Seckel Pear

    Core and slice the seckel pear into thin wedges. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Grate Parmigiano Reggiano

    Prepare Scallions

    Chop the scallions, using both the white and green parts.

  2. 5

    Fry Scallions

    In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped scallions and sauté until they are crispy and golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, fresh orange juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the vinaigrette is well combined and emulsified.

Assemble Salad
