Directions

Prep 20 minCook 20 min
  1. 1

    Cook seeds in 1 tablespoon oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until puffed and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels and reserve oil. Season seeds with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Whisk together vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. Gradually add remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and reserved oil from skillet in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.

  3. 3

    Divide greens and cheese among salad plates. Cut off 2 opposite sides of each pear, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick lengthwise center slice with stem and core. Arrange a pear slice on each plate and drizzle dressing over salads. Sprinkle with seeds.
