Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the pears

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the pears into wedges and toss them with honey. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Prepare the apples

    While the pears are roasting, slice the apples into thin wedges and set them aside.

  3. 3

    Make the salad dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Toast the crostini

    Slice the baguette into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Once toasted, rub each slice with lemon zest.

  5. 5

    Assemble the salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, roasted pears, sliced apples, blue cheese crumbles, and candied walnuts. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the salad on plates with lemon-zested crostini on the side.
