Red Leaf, Pear, And Walnut Salad
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon poppy seed
- salt and pepper (optional)
- 10 cups red leaf lettuce, rinsed and well-drained and coarsely chopped
- 2/3 cup walnut pieces, toasted
- 3 pears, cored, and chopped into 3/4-inch pieces (or slice, Try coring the pears by cutting in half and core with a melon baller)
- Add vinegar,juice,oil, mustard, and honey to food processor or blender and pulse until well-combined. Stir in poppy seeds and add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Reserve 1/4 cup of dressing and set aside.
- Add lettuce and walnuts to (very!) large bowl and pour remaining dressing on top, and toss to coat well. (I would add the walnuts at the end; they tend to fall to the bowl's bottom.).
- Divide lettuce among eight individual salad plates or borls. Add pears to large bowl and toss with 1/4 cup dressing, or arrange on salads and drizzle with 1/4 cup dressing. Spoon pears evenly on salads.
