PEAR AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD
This pear and goat cheese salad is so warm and inviting. It has toasted candied walnuts and a balsamic vinaigrette to top it off. I love putting it over a bed of arugula or artisan lettuce!

Steps:
- Make homemade balsamic dressing by adding all the ingredients to a mason jar. Shake well to incorporate. If you have an immersion blender, blend ingredients together until creamy.

- Layer lettuce, sliced pears and crumbled goat cheese on a serving platter or in a large bowl. Top with cooled candied walnuts and dressing with balsamic dressing prior to serving.
