ROASTED PEAR SALAD
You can roast just about any kind of pear, but for this recipe I prefer the smaller and harder Seckel pears. Once roasted, they'll soften and become surprisingly sweet and floral, a perfect contrast to the salty blue cheese and slightly bitter endive.

Steps:
- For the pears, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl, drizzle the pears with the olive oil, sprinkle with the sugar and salt, and toss to coat well. Transfer the pears to a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool.
- For the vinaigrette, whisk together the olive oil, pecan oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, and shallots in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble the salad, combine the endive leaves and bitter greens in a large serving bowl. Add the vinaigrette and toss to coat well. Wait until just before serving to top with the pears, blue cheese, and pecans.

ROASTED PEAR AND PECAN SALAD
A light and lovely fresh tasting salad. I had this in a restaurant recently and went about making one myself. I am still playing with variations but judging by how much my DH ate, this one is a winner! I enjoy the cheese and pecans in the salad but you can mix it up and use walnuts and skip the cheese. It all depends on your personal preferences.
