Pears, red onion, candied pecans, and blue cheese dress up a butter wedge salad with a creamy lemon parmesan dressing. My favorite kahlua pecans are linked below. Inspired by Sneji at the Modern Nonna https://themodernnonna.com/wedge-salad/
1 butter lettuce head
1 pear, diced
1 red onion, sliced
1 cup pecans, candied or toasted
½ cup blue cheese crumbles
Creamy Lemon Parmesan Dressing:
½ cup olive oil
⅓ cup lemon juice
1 Tbsp dijon
1 Tbsp maple syrup
3 Tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
12 cup plain yogurt
Cut butter lettuce head into quarters and lay on a serving platter. Scatter with pears, red onion slices, pecans, and blue cheese crumbles. Drizzle with dressing just before serving.
Whisk dressing ingredients together in a mason or other lidded jar. Store in the refrigerator.
