Smith’s Country Cheese Greens Salad

Instructions

1. Place the juice of the lemon and the water in a non-reactive bowl. Core pears and cut in half, thinly slice with a very sharp knife or on the straight blade of a mandolin and lightly toss in the bowl with the lemon-water mixture.
2. Clean and dry the Boston Bibb and pick out any discolored leaves. On a chilled dinner plate, place Bibb in a fan around the plate, pushing it down as flat as possible. Layer and fan the Asian pears in a circle over the Bibb leaving a nice green rim of the underlying lettuce showing.
3. Place the micro greens in a separate bowl, add truffle oil and lightly toss.
4. Arrange a nice bundle of greens in the center of each of the plates. With a spoon or a squeeze bottle, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the pears, season with Maine Sea Salt and fresh ground pepper. With the blade of a box grater or a mandolin, top the salad with the shaved cheese. Serve and enjoy!
