Grilled Cheese Pear Salad with Port Wine Dressing Recipe

📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup of Port wine
• 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp whole grain old fashioned mustard
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• a sprig of rosemary
• salt and pepper
• 4-5 red pears (washed, cored and cut into slices)
• 2 12 oz packages of queijo coalho (cubed)
• 1-2 5 oz bag of baby arugula
• 1/4 cup of chopped pecans

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Add the Port wine to a sauce pan over medium to high heat and bring to a boil. Let it simmer uncovered until the wine is reduced to about 1/4 cup and is syrupy and coats the back of a spoon. Let it cool.
2. 2Meanwhile, grill the cheese in a non-stick skillet over medium to high heat and grill all sides. Set aside.
3. 3Add the wine reduction, the apple cider, the mustard, the olive oil, and the rosemary sprig to a mason jar or medium bowl. Shake the jar, or whisk until well blended, and season with salt and pepper.
4. 4Put the greens in a large serving bowl, drizzle the dressing (to your taste) and toss to coat. Top with the pecans, the grilled cheese and the pears.
5. 5Serve immediately
