High and Mighty Good Pear Salad

Recipe courtesy of Better Homes and Gardens, October 2008

A vertical version of a pear salad.  We made this for a gourmet auction dinner and it was loved by all.

Toss 2 Cups watercress, 2 Tbsp. toasted pecans, 2 oz. crumbled blue cheese with your favorite vinaigrette dressing.

Core 4 smooth skinned pears from the bottom, keeping them intact.  Slice pears in four horizontal slices; brush cut sides with lemon juice.  Reassemble pears with salad mix in between.

Drizzle with honey and serve.

Serves 4
