1
Prepare the Poached Pears
In a saucepan, combine water, honey, and the vanilla bean (split and scraped). Bring to a simmer. Add the pears and poach for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Remove the pears and let cool.
2
Make the Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together the white balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt, and the remaining honey from the poaching liquid to create a vinaigrette.
3
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, toss the local field greens with the vinaigrette. Slice the poached pears and arrange them on top of the greens. Crumble the goat cheese and sprinkle the toasted pistachios over the salad.
