Preparation Instructions

1. Roast the Pears

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the Bosc pears in half, remove the seeds, and slice them into wedges. Toss the pear wedges with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

2. Make the Croutons

While the pears are roasting, cut the focaccia bread into bite-sized cubes. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the focaccia cubes. Toast until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Prepare the Vinaigrette

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sherry vinegar, remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper until combined.

4. Assemble the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the mesclun greens, roasted pears, Gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, and focaccia croutons. Drizzle with the sherry vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
