This fabulous fall salad works best with pears that are ripe but firm.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar, or cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 8 cups mixed greens
• 1/2 cup pecan halves, toasted
• 1/2 cup blue cheese, roquefort or stilton
• 3 pears, peeled, cored & quartered

Steps:

• Preheat the barbecue on LOW. Whisk together vinegar and honey. Add olive oil in a thin stream whisking constantly, and add salt and pepper. Brush or spray prepared pears with olive or vegetable oil, and place on preheated barbecue on LOW.
• Grill on both sides until softened slightly and heated through, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, divide greens evenly among six plates. Arrange the pears, pecans and cheese on top and drizzle with the vinaigrette.
