Steps:
- Whisk the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. (see note)
- Gradually drizzle in the olive oil, about a teaspoon at a time, whisking all the time, to make a smooth dressing.
- Wash the lettuce leaves, dry well. Tear into bite-size pieces.
- Just before serving, put about half of the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Add the lettuce and toss to coat the leaves lightly. Toss in a little more dressing if you think it's needed, keeping in mind the lettuce should be lightly coated, not weighed down in oil.
- Build the salad in two layers: Transfer half of the dressed lettuce to a serving bowl. Core and slice the first pear and arrange it over the lettuce. Sprinkle with half of the blue cheese and half of the toasted pecans. Repeat with a second layer.
ROMAINE WITH APPLE, PECANS AND BLUE CHEESE
Eating the skin of apples provides about twice the anti-cancer activity as eating only the pulp, Cornell University studies show. That's why this recipe says not to peel the apple. You may wonder about the hefty amount of fat in each serving. Don't: 90% of it is good monounsaturated fat from avocado and pecans.

Steps:
- Combine mayonnaise, blue cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, shallot, and garlic in a medium bowl. Mix well, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
- When ready to prepare the salad, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute bacon, turning as needed, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Dice cooled bacon and set aside.
- Lightly brush romaine on all sides with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Using a pair of tongs, place romaine, cut-sides down, on the preheated grill. Cook until slightly caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes; it should still be slightly raw and crunchy in the center. Remove to a clean platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Place each romaine half on a serving plate. Drizzle with dressing and top with tomato and diced bacon.

Steps:
- Place beets into a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover beets by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until skins begin to loosen, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Drain beets, remove skins, and cut into halves or quarters, depending on size. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- Roast in the preheated oven until beets are dark in color and almost fork tender, but not too soft, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool beets, dice into 1/2-inch cubes, and place in a bowl.
- Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey in a lidded jar for the honey-mustard vinaigrette. Close jar and shake to combine. Pour vinaigrette over beets and chill in the refrigerator until flavors have melded, 1 to 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, heat butter in a skillet over low heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized, 15 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, and chop.
- Arrange 1/4 of the marinated beets in a solid circle on 4 salad dishes. Top with layers of onions and micro greens and sprinkle with blue cheese and pecans. Drizzle remaining beet vinaigrette around each salad, if desired. Serve chilled.
