A delicious way to partake in your greens and veggies!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE VINAIGRETTE:
  • ½ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 whole Shallots, Thinly Sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Pomegranate Seeds
  • ½ teaspoons Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
  • Kosher Salt And Fresh Cracked Pepper To Taste
  • _____
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 8 cups Mixed Greens (ie. Arugula, Baby Spinach, Mâche, Etc.)
  • 2 whole Small Asian Pears, Sliced Paper Thin
  • ⅓ cups Fresh Pomegranate Seeds
  • ⅓ cups Pistachio Nuts, Roughly Chopped
  • ½ cups Gorgonzola, Crumbled

Preparation

Prepare the vinaigrette. In a small sauce pan or skillet, heat olive oil on low. Add shallots and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Place pomegranate seeds in a small bowl. Using a fork, crush the seeds to allow the juices to come out. Add shallots, sugar, and red wine vinegar. Slowly whisk in the olive oil from the shallots until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Arrange the greens onto a large platter. Place the pears over the greens and sprinkle the pomegranate seeds, pistachios, and gorgonzola on top. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and serve immediately.
