Method

Preparing Roasted Pears

  1. 1

    Roast the Pears

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the pears in half, remove the core, and slice them into wedges. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender and golden brown.

Preparing the Salad

  1. 2

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the baby lettuces and seedless red grapes. Once the pears are roasted and slightly cooled, add them to the bowl.

  2. 3

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the gorgonzola cheese and pecans over the salad mixture.

Making the Dressing

  1. 4

    Prepare the Pomegranate Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the pomegranate juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serving the Salad

  1. 5

    Dress and Serve

    Drizzle the pomegranate dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.
