Fall is when farms harvest a second round of baby greens. Nearly all the farms have their own special mixes and I love to give them all a try and find my favorites. Combine those with roasted pears and you have a recipe for company.

Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 to 4 pears
- Olive oil
- 4 cups mixed baby salad greens
- To garnish, pomegranate seeds
- Blue cheese, goat cheese, or feta (optional)
For the dressing:
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 or 2 teaspoons maple syrup (depending on the bite of the balsamic)
- 5 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Peel the pears, cut in half, and scoop out the core with a spoon. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Rub each pear with olive oil. Place pears cut side down on baking sheet, and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. The pears should be lightly browned on the cut side and easily pierced with a fork.
