Ingredients
- 2 tsp. coconut oil
- ½ ripe pear, roughly diced
- ¼ cup pecans, coarsely chopped
- 4-5 cups of chopped dark greens (dandelion, arugula, radicchio, endive, mustard greens, kale, swiss chard)

- MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbl. whole grain mustard
- Pinch sea salt
- Fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Mix the olive oil, mustard, and cider vinegar in a bowl. Whisk to incorporate. Add a few turns of the pepper grinder (to taste) and a sprinkle of sea salt. Set aside.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Melt in the coconut oil, then once hot, add the pears. Cook for a few minutes to slightly soften and brown them. Toss in the pecans just to warm them up, then add in the bitter greens. Toss gently with tongs until gently wilted, then toss with a few Tbls. of the vinaigrette.
