for the salad
3 Large Asian Pears
1 large pomegranate
1 bunch fresh mint
Vinaigrette
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
2 teaspoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
2 tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 Whole Shallots

1
Peel, core and Julienne Asian pear
2
Thinly Slice Shallots
3
Seed Pomegranate, my favored method is to roll it around a bit to loosen the skin, then cut in half width wise, I then place a colander in the sink and whack the skin side of the cut fruit with a wooden spoon till the seeds fall out, there may be neater ways to do this, but I find it very satisfying. Best to run through with a bit of cold water to remove any remaining bits of connective tissue, for lack of better word
4
Combine Lime Juice, maple syrup, vinegar in a bowl...slowly whisk in grapeseed oil to emulsify. Taste, adjust seasonings, you may want it sweeter or tarter depending on the flavor of your asian pears ( the vary from caramelly sweet to barely there)
5
Add shallots to dressing and let sit for about 30 min ( or longer is you are traveling with the salad, keep dressing w/ shallots in a separate container)
6
Toss Pears & Pomegranate with Vinaigrette..tear or chiffonade (I like the torn look) mint and garnish just before serving
