Asian Pear Salad The fall season brings an abundance of apples and pears, especially for those of us in New England. This Asian Pear Salad brings fruits and vegetables together in a delicious and healthful way. This recipe will serve 2 if the salad is the main course, and four people if it is an appetizer. Serves 2. 2 Asian pears, peeled and cored 2 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and chopped 3/4 cup water 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar 1 teaspoon teriyaki sauce 1 tablespoon olive oil 6 cups mixed greens 1 large carrot, peeled and shredded 1 cup snow peas 1 cup bean sprouts Salt and pepper to taste Cut the pears in half. Chop enough to fill 1/4 cup of small pieces, and cut the remaining pear into thin slices. Sauté 1/4 cup of chopped pear with the ginger and water until soft; then add to a food processor or blender along with the sherry vinegar and teriyaki sauce, and puree. Next, slowly add the oil to the mixture (and some salt and pepper to taste) until it is well blended. Separately, toss the greens, carrots, snow peas, and sprouts all together with the pear dressing, and top the salad with the remaining sliced pear.
