SQUASH AND RADICCHIO SALAD WITH PECANS
Preheating the baking sheet will help the squash sizzle and sear as soon as it hits the pan rather than steam and stick.

Steps:
- Squash:
- Place racks in middle and lower third of oven and set a rimmed baking sheet on each; preheat oven to 450°F. Toss squash with oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Remove baking sheets from oven and divide squash between them, arranging in a single layer. Roast, rotating sheets halfway through, until browned and tender, 15-25 minutes. Set squash aside; reduce oven temperature to 350°F.

- Vinaigrette and assembly:
- Toss pecans with 1 tsp. oil in a small bowl; season with salt. Toast on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing halfway through, until slightly darkened and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop. Set ½ cup pecans aside for serving.
- Blend shallot, lemon juice, orange juice, mustard, maple syrup, and remaining pecans in a blender until mostly smooth. With motor running, gradually stream in ½ cup oil and blend until emulsified and smooth. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
- Toss radicchio and half of dressing in a large bowl to coat; season with salt and pepper. Arrange on a platter. Toss reserved squash with remaining dressing in the same bowl to coat; season with salt and pepper. Arrange over radicchio.
- Toss Asian pear with lemon juice in a small bowl. Top salad with Asian pear, cheese, parsley, and reserved pecans. Squeeze juice from lemon half over and drizzle with oil; season with more salt and pepper.
- Do Ahead: Vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

ASIAN PEAR SALAD WITH TAMARI PECANS AND MAYTAG BLUE CHEESE
Ever since American chefs discovered the amazing food marriage of tree fruits and blue cheese, they have served the two in many forms. Pears are classic, but nearly all tree fruits work well. Go through the seasons: cherries, peaches, plums, apples, and then pears. As much as I like them all, pears remain my favorite. For this salad, I like crisp, moist Asian pears (also called Japanese pears), which can be sliced ahead of time because they don't brown easily. They are also fairly easy to find. null The blue cheese clearly is the dominant ingredient. You don't usually think of cheese with Asian flavors, but in this preparation, it's dynamite. Everything works here: The tamari takes the pecans to a new taste level, and the bitter greens and the reduced pear juice dressing provide just the right spark for this rich, sweet and salty salad.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and syrup. Whisk in the oil and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the greens, pecans and currants. Sprinkle with the cheese and season lightly with salt and pepper. Whisk the dressing again and drizzle it over the salad.
- Toss the salad gently and briefly; you do not want the cheese to crumble any further and clump together.
- Divide the salad among 4 chilled salad plates. Fan the pear slices over each serving.
- Put the pear juice in a saucepan and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and skim the thick foam that rises to the surface.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer very gently, skimming occasionally, for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the juice reduces to the consistency of maple syrup.
- Let cool to room temperature. Use now or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a shallow bowl, stir the tamari and molasses together to blend. Season with cayenne and salt, to taste.
- Add the pecans and toss until they are coated. Transfer the pecans to a clean kitchen towel and let drain briefly.
- Spread the pecans on a wire rack set on a baking sheet and roast for about 10 minutes, or until fairly dry and toasted.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the rack. Chop the pecans into 1/4-inch pieces.
ASIAN PEAR SALAD WITH TAMARI PECANS AND MAYTAG BLUE CHEESE
Steps:
- Place the pear vinegar and pear syrup in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the lemon-o and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the greens, tamari pecans, and currants. Sprinkle over with the blue cheese, then drizzle over with the dressing. Toss the salad gently and briefly, as you do not want the cheese crumbles to begin sticking together. Divide the salad onto the center of 2 chilled salad plates and garnish by fanning the pear slices around each salad.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the tamari and molasses. Season, to taste, with salt and cayenne pepper. Toss with the pecans until they are well coated. Transfer the pecans onto a kitchen towel and allow to briefly drain. Roast the pecans on an icing rack until the pecans are fairly dry and toasted. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Chop the pecans into 1/4-inch pieces.
