Ingredients
-
2 Ripe Pears
-
2 Tbsp Avocado Oil
-
4 Tbsp Crisp Anjou Pear Balsamic Vinegar, divided
-
3 Tbsp Tuscan Herb Olive Oil
-
1/2 tsp Rosemary Sea Salt
-
Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
-
6 cups Spinach
-
1/2 cup Dried Cranberries
-
1/2 cup Cumin Maple Pecans
-
1/2 cup Goat, Feta or Blue Cheese
Directions
Cut the pears in half and remove the core.
Heat a sauté pan with the avocado oil. Once warm, add the pears, centers down and cook until golden in color, 3-5 minutes. Turn the pears over, drizzle with 2 Tbsp Pear Balsamic Vinegar, and cover the pan. Cook until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes longer.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the remaining 2 Tbsp Pear Balsamic Vinegar, Tuscan Herb Oil, Rosemary Sea Salt, and pepper. Toss the dressing with the spinach and arrange on a large serving platter.
Finish the spinach with caramelized pears, cranberries, maple pecans, and cheese. Enjoy!
