Pear, Pistou And Potato Salad

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 6 cups mixed greens, divided
• 2 medium ripe firm pears, peeled, cored and diced
• 4 roasted small red potatoes, unpeeled and scrubbed, roasted and cut into chunks
• 3/4 cup homemade pesto sauce (or pistou sauce-read *note)
• 1/3 cup sliced almonds, roasted (omit if using pesto sauce as it already contains nuts)

Recipe

• 1 *note: use either pesto sauce or french pistou sauce (see #100384). the zaar computer wouldn't let me type in pistou sauce as an ingredient. naughty computer!
• 2 divide and arrange the mixed greens on 4 salad plates.
• 3 gently toss the pesto/pistou with the pear and roasted potatoes. divide and serve the mixture over the mixed greens. garnish with sliced almonds if desired.
• 4 since this is in essence a pilfered recipe, all amounts are estimated.
• 5 a few recommendations to round out the menu: serve with french bread and a glass of wine, listen to the soundtrack to amelie and discuss toulouse-lautrec and the belle epoque.
