Description

Directions

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir in 1/4 cup sugar, a 1/2 cup whole pecans, and 1 splash of water. Stir constantly until the sugar starts to boil and thicken. Pour onto a piece of wax paper to cool.
• Next, make the dressing. Vigorously whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, white sugar, dijon mustard, garlic, and salt until the oil and vinegar have fully combined. Set in the fridge to chill.
• Now start putting the salad together. Place chopped romaine in a large bowl and top with sliced avocado and pear, crumbled blue cheese, and candied pecans.
