-Today, I'm making spinach salad with gorgonzola and pear.
Let's get started.
First, I'm going to cut a pear in half
and then I'm going to remove the core.
I'm going to take half the pear and cut it thin crosswise.
Take those pear slices, add them to a bowl,
and toss them with some lemon juice
so they don't oxidize.
I'm going to take the other half a pear
and cut it into large chunks.
Add those pear pieces to a food processor
along with vinegar,
minced shallot, mustard,
some packed brown sugar, and a bit of salt and pepper.
Process it for 15 seconds
until it's nice and smooth.
With the processor running, I'm going to add
1/4 cup of vegetable oil for about 30 seconds,
until it's emulsified.
That's it. That's our dressing.
It's salad time.
I'm going to toss the baby spinach
with some of the dressing
and then season it to taste.
To make the salad more exciting,
I'm going to top it with some crumbled gorgonzola,
some toasted chopped walnuts, pomegranate seeds,
and that pear we sliced earlier.
For a finishing touch,
I'm going to add a little drizzle of the extra dressing.
There you go. Spinach salad with gorgonzola and pear.
