Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2-3 firm-ripe pears, cored, peeled and cut into slices
1 - 2 tablespoon honey

8 - 12 cups of salad greens and/or baby spinach leaves, rinsed and chilled
1/2 - 3/4 cup each thinly sliced cucumber, carrots, and red bell peppers (optional)
4 ounces Bleu, Gorgonzola or goat cheese
1 cup chopped roasted macadamia nuts

1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Heat large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow to warm. Add pear slices and sauté in oil for 2 minutes on each side. Turn off heat and drizzle honey over pear slices, and gently turn pears so that it coats them on both sides.

While pears are cooking, put greens and vegetables into a large salad bowl and mix well. Add warm pears, cheese, nuts and gently mix.

Mix salad dressing ingredients, add juices from pan and pour over salad. Serve right away.

Note: This is a great salad to prepare as a composed salad. First lay greens on plates. Add vegetables, then pear slices, then top with nuts and cheese. Drizzle salad dressing over each salad.
