Pear Romaine Salad Recipe

submitted by reader Glenna Hoff of Prescott, AZ

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups romaine lettuce
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 firm pear
1 tablespoon butter
8 to 10 pecan halves
Instructions
Wash, dry, and slice romaine lettuce into long, thin strips. Mix balsamic vinegar and olive oil and pour on lettuce. Toss well. Put on salad plates. Cut pear into cubes or slices and sauté in butter until brown. Put on top of lettuce. Top with pecan halves. Serves 2.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen: This salad also is delicious with bleu cheese or Gorgonzola crumbles. It’s the perfect foil to the sweetness of the pears.
