Poached Pear and Roquefort Salad

A delightful salad featuring poached pears, Roquefort cheese, and a tangy vinaigrette. Perfect as a light lunch or a starter for dinner.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a large saucepan, combine the pears, wine, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook until the pears are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the pears and let them cool.
In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, Roquefort cheese, and walnuts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Slice the cooled pears and add them to the salad.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad, and toss gently to combine.
Serve the salad immediately, garnished with additional Roquefort and walnuts if desired.
