Roasted Pear and MouCo Camembert Salad
Warm roasted pears, creamy MouCo Camembert, and crisp greens come together in a cozy, flavorful salad—sweet, savory, and just what your table needs.
🧂 Ingredients
Serves 2–4
-
- 4 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, or mesclun)
- 2 ripe pears, halved and cored
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 4 oz MouCo Camembert, torn into bite-sized pieces
- ¼ cup toasted walnuts or pecans
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
👣 Instructions
-
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss pear halves in olive oil and roast cut-side down on a baking sheet until tender and caramelized, about 15–20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Arrange greens on a platter or in a bowl. Slice or chop the roasted pears and scatter on top.
- Add MouCo Camembert pieces and toasted nuts.
- Drizzle with dressing, toss gently, and serve warm or at room temperature.
🎯 Notes & Pairings
-
- Fruit swap: Try roasted apples or quince for a seasonal twist.
- Make-ahead: Roast pears ahead and assemble just before serving.
- Drink pairing: A lightly oaked Chardonnay or honeyed Riesling complements the sweet-savory tones.
