Recipe by Charlotte March When grilled, pears take on an appealing savoriness. Paired with rich nuts, cheese, and a variety of cold-weather greens, they make an unusual (and quick) main-course salad.

Ingredients

4 small firm-ripe pears, such as Anjou, Bartlett, or Bosc (about 2 lbs. total) 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided 1 small head radicchio 2 small heads frisée 2 Belgian endives 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves 3/4 cup toasted walnuts 3 ounces ricotta salata or pecorino cheese

Instructions

Heat a grill to medium-high (about 450 °). Quar­ter pears lengthwise; stem and core. Toss pears in a bowl with 1 tbsp. oil; season with 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Grill pears until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Meanwhile, tear radicchio, frisée, and endives into 2- to 3-in. pieces. You should have about 12 cups. In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Slowly whisk in remaining 1/2 cup oil. Combine parsley, walnuts, and ricotta in a food processor; pulse until coarsely ground. Toss warm pears and chicories in vinaigrette. Spread about 2 tbsp. walnut-ricotta mixture on each of 4 plates, then top with salad. Scatter remaining walnut-ricotta mixture over salads.
