Ingredients:

4 medium pears, halved and cored

4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

2 Tablespoons cider vinegar

1 teaspoon water

1 teaspoon honey

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon white pepper

1 package mixed baby salad greens (10 ounce package)

1/4 cup chopped and toasted hazelnuts

1/4 cup dried cranberries

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, add 1 teaspoon olive oil; add pears and toss. Grease or spray a large baking pan; add pears. Bake for about 10 minutes. Turn pears over. Bake until golden brown and tender, about 5 -7 minutes longer. Remove and cool. Peel 2 pears and thinly slice lengthwise. Set aside. Peel remaining pears and add to a blender, along with the vinegar, water, honey, salt and white pepper. Cover and process until smooth. While processing, in a steady stream, gradually add the remaining 3 teaspoons olive oil to the blender while processing. In a large salad bowl, toss the salad greens, hazelnuts and cranberries. Arrange pear slices on top; drizzle with dressing.
