Baby Greens with Pecans & Pears

1. 1

   Rinse and dry the salad greens.

2. 2

   Cut the pears in half, core them, and cut into matchsticks or thin slices.

3. 3

   Lightly coat the pears with a little dressing to prevent discoloration.

4. 4

   In a large salad bowl, toss together the greens and pears.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the top with cheese and pecans.

6. 6

   Pass the vinaigrette at the table.

7. 7

   You can purchase grated cheese, but Parmesan looks and tastes even better if you buy it in a chunk and use a coarse grater to shred it or a sharp vegetable peeler to make curls.

8. 8

   This salad is also good with blue cheese or chevre.

9. 9

   Perfect with Creamy Lemon Pasta (page 18) or Baked Stuffed Tomatoes (page 49).
