Ingredients

▢ 3 pears (see notes)
▢ 8 dates
▢ ¼ cup hazelnuts (see notes)
▢ ¼ cup goat cheese crumbles (see notes)
▢ ¼ cup microgreens
▢ 2 edible flowers
▢ 2 tablespoon chili infused extra virgin olive oil (see notes)
▢ 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
▢ 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses

Instructions

Slice the pears into thin semi circle shaped slices.
Pit and chop the dates into small pieces.
Roast and chop the hazelnuts into small pieces.
Toss the pears, dates, nuts, cheese and microgreens with the infused oil.
Plate and drizzle with the pomegranate molasses and balsamic glaze mixture.
Garnish with the flowers and enjoy.

Notes

The pears - I use bartlett pears for my recipe, but anjou and bosch are both good alternatives.

The hazelnuts - I buy raw, peeled hazelnuts and roast them myself but you can buy pre roasted nuts if you want to save a step.

The goat cheese - I buy a small container of goat cheese crumbles but you can also chop up a block of goat cheese to make your own.

The dressing - If you don't have the ingredients listed above or want to save time, just use a good quality store bought vinaigrette.
