Sublime. No better word describes this grilled pear salad with goat cheese and pecans, drizzled with a delicious balsamic vinegar reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to its ingredients and colors, this is the perfect fall salad. However, whenever I see red D’Anjou pears in the grocery store, I make it regardless of the time of year. And if it’s summer and I’m grilling outside, I take advantage of the grill. Otherwise, I roast my pears on the stove in my cast iron grill pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This salad has a perfect combination of flavors and textures. The grilled pear caramelizes. That sweetness contrasts with the creamy goat cheese’s tangy notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toasted pecans provide their nutty flavor, crunchy texture, and contrast with the soft goat cheese (one of my favorite non-Venezuelan fresh cheeses).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides additional sweet notes, the balsamic vinegar reduction provides the delicious umami we greatly appreciate in our meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All these elements together make this the perfect salad with that wow factor that will surprise your guests just by looking at it and produce an explosion of flavor when you try it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
