PEAR APPLE WALNUT SALAD IN A BALSAMIC REDUCTION
I recently needed a "salad-ish" dish to take to a Christmas Eve dinner, and came up with this. Wintertime does not make me hungry for a cold salad, but this one is a nice compromise - and it doesn't involve one leaf vegetable! You can make the balsamic reduction in advance - it keeps nicely in the fridge for a few weeks in a closed container. The amounts of the ingredients are flexible as are the ingredients themselves. Choose your favorite apple and pear, and leaving the skin on them adds color and texture. The salad keeps well for a day or two in the fridge as well, but the fruits, cucumber and celery wilt a bit.

Steps:
- Put the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan and turn the heat on low. When making a balsamic reduction, you don't have to boil the vinegar - you just have to get it warm enough to evaporate the vinegar. Boiling may burn the reduction.
- Stir the balsamic occasionally to check the consistency, and make sure your hood fan is on. The evaporation of the vinegar can be quite pungent.
- Have patience - this reduction takes a bit of time. Maybe 45 minutes?.
- Once the volume of the vinegar has been reduced to about 1/3 of its original volume, remove it from the heat and set it aside.
- Slice your fruit, cucumber and celery and place in a bowl.
- Add the walnuts, cranberries and blue cheese crumbles.
- Toss.
- Add ground pepper and drizzle with balsamic reduction (make sure it's cool!).
- Add a bit more ground pepper, and more balsamic reduction if needed and toss again.
- Enjoy as an appetizer or a side salad.

PEAR & WALNUT SALAD WITH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE
I came up with this salad recipe for Father's Day, and it was a huge hit. I strongly recommend recipe #154351 and recipe #323254 in this!! (I used both walnuts and pecans when making the candied nuts.) It's really pretty if you can get yellow pear tomatoes and use a red pepper, or vise versa.

- Blend mixture until well emulsified, about 20 seconds. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to serve.
- In a medium skillet melt butter along with brown sugar over medium heat. Once mixture has melted add walnuts and cook, stirring constantly until caramelized, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate in a single layer to cool.
- Layer lettuce and pears in a large bowl and toss with dressing, then top with parmesan, dried cranberries and candied walnuts and serve (alternately just layer all the salad ingredients then drizzle with dressing. Note: top this salad with dressing just before serving as it will wilt the lettuces after a while).
