Pear Salad

One large head of Romaine Lettuce
1 to 2 medium-sized pears (any kind you like - ripened but firm)
1/2 cup candied and peppered almonds
Dressing

CANDIED AND PEPPERED ALMONDS
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup blanched almonds
1 Tablespoon coarse pepper

DRESSING – Combine ingredients in small bowl and set aside
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup bleu cheese
5 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Cut up Romaine and pear into large salad bowl, place in refrigerator. Add dressing and nuts (nuts should break
apart easily and crumble into salad bowl). Mix well and serve right away.
*CANDIED AND PEPPERED ALMONDS
Put sugar into saucepan on high (watch closely). When sugar just starts to melt add almonds and pepper. Stir
until almonds toast (pan will smoke but you must continue to mix and turn nuts). Remove from heat when
completely toasted and spread out in glass dish (do not coat dish with oil).
