shitty photography - yummy salad
Several months ago Wegmans rolled out a new smoked blue cheese. I love blue cheese but I’m not a huge fan of smoked cheese. It was okay. Not horrible but nothing I would buy. Until I did on accident. So I could make this blue cheese and toasted pecan salad with honey balsamic dressing.
OMG, ya’ll this is the BEST SALAD EVAHHHH! Ask anyone and they will tell you I make damn good salad, but this is tops.
Ingredients:
Salad:
Mixed salad greens, heavy on the arugula if you like it
Red pear
Pecans, chopped and toasted in a dry pan
Smoked blue cheese – as much as you like!
Sliced green onions, or other mild onion of your choice
Dressing (how much of this you need will depend on how much salad you make):
¼ cup of balsamic vinegar
3 tbs of honey
1 tbs of water
1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
Prepare it, mix it, toss it, EAT IT!
If you can’t get smoked blue cheese I’m surely sorry, but I bet regular will be just as fab!
Amazing the difference that toasting the nuts makes in any recipe. This sounds fantabulous!
Carving out time is hard to do because your work is always there staring you in the face! I’ve been working on actually putting the work away where I can’t see it, which helps a lot!
