Jeweled Holiday Salad with Honey-Shallot Vinaigrette

Had to share this new recipe, it's a good one from Maryam's cook book. YUM. 

Vinaigrette
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

Salad
Mixed greens
Gala apples or firm ripe pears, chopped
Pomegranate seeds
Smoked cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
Candied pecan


Sauté chopped shallots in pan until dark and
caramelized. Deglaze shallots with a few ounces of
vinegar. Cool shallots then puree all ingredients in
blender or food processor until emulsified. Refrigerate.
