    Caramelized Pears

    • 2 pears
    • 2 tablespoon butter
    • 2 tablespoon brown sugar

    Salad

    • 5 oz spring mix lettuce
    • 1 orange peeled and cut into wedges
    • 2 small cucumbers thinly sliced and curled
    • ¼ cup pomegranate arils
    • 2 oz white cheddar cheese cut into small cubes
    • 4 oz candied pecans

    Dressing

    • 5 tablespoon orange juice
    • 2 teaspoon honey
    • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

    Instructions

    • Slice the pears in 8 slices each and remove the core. Melt butter in a skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pear slices in 1 layer. Cook 5 minutes, flip, sprinkle on brown sugar, cook 5 minutes, flip, add ¼ cup water, and cook 5 more minutes. Turn the heat off and allow the pears to cool.
