Butter Leaf Lettuce, Fresh Pear, and Gorgonzola Salad

This may be the most refreshing salad I”ve ever made. We offer it as an off-menu special and we serve it constantly. It”s simplicity at its best.

Ingredients

1 fresh pear, peeled and thinly sliced

Fresh-squeezed lemon juice

4 handfuls of torn butter leaf lettuce

1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

6 tablespoons Orange Pecan Dressing

Peel and thinly slice the pear and then squeeze a little lemon juice on it.

Make sure the lettuce is clean and dry. (You don”t want any grit in your salad.)

Put the butter leaf in a bowl with the Gorgonzola and toss lightly with the dressing.

Divide and pile the salad nicely on four chilled plates. Fan one-fourth of the sliced pear over the top of each salad and drizzle a little more dressing.

Serves 4.

Orange Pecan Dressing

This dressing has been my favorite for the last year.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

1/3 cup orange blossom honey

1 teaspoon fresh grated orange zest

3 tablespoons fresh orange juice

1/2 cup light olive oil or vegetable oil

1/4 cup toasted and chopped pecans

Add the first 5 ingredients in order to a mixing bowl and whisk with a wire whip until honey has dissolved and blended with the other ingredients. Now add the toasted, chopped pecans.

Serves 6.
