Fall grilled pear salad with raspberry vinaigrette, ready in 25 minutes to brighten your plate.
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 jar (10-oz size) seedless raspberry preserves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned pepper blend
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 3 firm ripe Bartlett pears, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 1 bag (5 oz) gourmet mixed salad greens
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 3/4 cup honey-roasted cashews
  • 1 cup crumbled chèvre (goat) cheese (4 oz)
Instructions:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, raspberry preserves, fresh basil, garlic, salt, and seasoned pepper blend. Gradually incorporate the oil while stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Grill the pear wedges for 2 to 4 minutes, turning once, until they are golden. Then, set them aside.
