    Prepare the Poached Pear

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a simmer. Add sugar, cinnamon stick, and a splash of lemon juice. Peel and core the pears, then place them in the simmering water. Poach for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Remove and let cool, then slice.

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, shaved fennel, and candied walnuts. Add the sliced poached pears and crumbled chèvre on top.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the citrus white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately.
