While pears are roasting, put the almonds on another pan and roast for about 10 minutes or until they are nicely toasted.

Combine shallots, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a jar with a tightly-fitting lid. Shake until combined. Taste and adjust as needed.
5
Wash and spin dry greens and put in a large bowl. Add pears, almonds, and radishes, and crumble the blue cheese on top.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
