Ingredients
Apple Cider/Maple Syrup Dressing
Instructions
  1. Wash lettuce, tear in bite size pieces and spin in salad spinner to dry. This can be done a day ahead and refrigerated in a plastic bag with a paper towel.
  2. Prepare squash by peeling and cutting into cubes, and boiling in salted water until tender. About 15 minutes. Drain and cool. This is a good thing to do the day ahead also.
  3. No longer than two hours before serving, wash whole pears, and core, from the bottom with an apple corer. Drop whole pears in a bowl of water with the juice of one lemon. This will keep them from turning dark.
  4. To serve, mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Toss with dressing (see below). Slice each pear in 1/4 inch slices keeping them in their whole shape set them in the middle of the salad. Enjoy!
Apple Cider/Maple Syrup Dressing
  1. Mix apple cider, Dijon mustard, maple syrup in a food processor or blender. With the motor running slowly add the oil, mixing until the dressing is thick and smooth. This can be refrigerated for a couple of weeks.
