Enjoy this warm and satisfying salad featuring sweet pears and creamy, melted goat cheese. It is a perfect, cozy dish for any time you crave comfort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mixed greens (such as butter lettuce and spinach)
  • 2 firm ripe pears (e.g., Bosc or Anjou), cored and thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces soft goat cheese, sliced into rounds
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Arrange the goat cheese rounds on a small, oven-safe baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and just beginning to melt. Watch it closely.
  3. While the cheese bakes, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl. Season this dressing with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the mixed greens in a large serving bowl.
  5. Arrange the sliced pears over the greens.
  6. Carefully transfer the warm goat cheese rounds onto the salad.
  7. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
  8. Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top.
  9. Serve immediately while the goat cheese is still warm.

Notes

  • You can toast the nuts briefly in a dry pan for deeper flavor before adding them.
  • If you prefer a sharper flavor, use aged balsamic vinegar.
  • This salad pairs well with grilled chicken or a side of crusty bread.
