Autumn “Cheese Plate” Salad in a Glass

This is truly a beautiful salad combined cheese plate, with pear vinaigrette dressed baby greens and sliced cheeses and pears, complete with candied pecans, apple wedges and a little puddle of honey. Inspired by a Better Homes and Gardens magazine photo. Lovely paired with a Capiaux Cellars Pinot Noir. https://www.capiauxcellars.com/product/2016-Capiaux-Starscape-Pinot-Noir

Toss the baby greens with the olive oil, pear vinegar, garlic salt and pepper. Divide between 4 margarita or martini glasses. Slice the pear and apples and place around the edges of the glass.
