IF you have never roasted fruit then that may scare you just a bit. The truth is though that you can do it, it does not take a long time and it taste great. The roasting of the grapes and pears in this recipe takes only about 15 minutes and definitely brings out the sweetness in the fruit. Toss in some pecans and blue cheese crumbles and a bit of crunch, delicious taste and creamy salad has been created In addition, the fruit will dress up that salad of mixed greens.
3 firm-ripe Bartlett pears, cored and sliced
1 1/2 cups red grapes
1/2 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups mixed greens
1/2 cup pecans
1/3 cup blue cheese
Balsamic vinaigrette-use your favorite brand
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine pear slices and grapes in a medium bowl and drizzle with olive oil and honey. Gently toss until well coated. Spread fruit in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast pears and grapes, turning once, until tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Place mixed greens on serving plate(s). Arrange roasted pears, grapes, pecans, and blue cheese over the greens. Drizzle salad with balsamic vinaigrette and serve immediately.
