Crimson Autumn Salad With Pecorino And Pine Nuts

• Salad Ingredients
• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
• dash of sugar
• 1/4 pound red romaine or red leaf lettuce
• pinch of sea salt
• 1 red Anjou pear
• 1/2 pint red raspberries
• 1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted
• Pecorino cheese shavings
• Dressing
• fresh squeezed lemon juice
• extra virgin olive oil
• balsamic vinegar
• fresh ground black pepper

1. Slice onion and soak in cold water with a dash of sugar for half an hour.
2. Wash and dry lettuce. Layer the leaves on top of each other and slice across to form 1/2-inch strips. Divide between two salad plates and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
3. When onion is ready, lay rings on top of lettuce and drizzle with olive oil.
4. Cut pear into quarters, removing core. Slice thinly (about 1/8-inch thick). Evenly distribute pear slices on both salad plates. Squeeze some lemon juice over salads, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
5. Divide raspberries evenly and place on top of salads. Add shaved pecorino to taste. Sprinkle with pine nuts and black pepper.
