Steps:
- 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.
- Whisk together vinegar, honey, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and reserved oil from skillet in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
- Divide greens and cheese among salad plates. Cut off 2 opposite sides of each pear (reserve for another use), 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.
HONEY-ROASTED PEAR SALAD WITH THYME AND VERJUS DRESSING
An elegant and sophisticated salad that makes good use of verjus (verjuice) in the dressing. I use a local blue cheese, such as Roquefort in this salad; however, please do use a local blue cheese of your choice - any creamy or robust blue cheese will marry well with the pears and tart dressing. Verjuice, or verjus, is the juice of unripe grapes. This staple of French provincial cooking, a key ingredient in Dijon mustard, has the tartness of lemon juice and the acidity of vinegar, but the harshness of neither. Its delicate flavour is ideal for everything from stocks to sweet syrups - as long as you know what you're doing. Verjus was also a common ingredient used in English cooking throughout the Middle Ages. I try to make a batch of verjus every year with the green grapes from my non-dessert grape vine - as I love cooking with it. This recipe came from an old copy of Bon Appetit magazine from 2005. Prep time includes the time it takes the pears to cool.

ROASTED PEAR SALAD
You can roast just about any kind of pear, but for this recipe I prefer the smaller and harder Seckel pears. Once roasted, they'll soften and become surprisingly sweet and floral, a perfect contrast to the salty blue cheese and slightly bitter endive.

Steps:
- For the pears, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl, drizzle the pears with the olive oil, sprinkle with the sugar and salt, and toss to coat well. Transfer the pears to a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool.
- For the vinaigrette, whisk together the olive oil, pecan oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, and shallots in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- To assemble the salad, combine the endive leaves and bitter greens in a large serving bowl. Add the vinaigrette and toss to coat well. Wait until just before serving to top with the pears, blue cheese, and pecans.

ZESTY RANCH CHICKEN PASTA SALAD #RSC
Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. One day I was looking for something new to do with pasta salad. I entire family loves pasta salad so I wanted something special also. Now I do not like Ranch Salad dressing however I absolutely love the Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning packet. I have used it on potatoes, on chicken and many other ways. I decided why not add it to a light pasta salad. So my recipe was made, eaten and enjoyed. The best thing besides the taste of this Chicken Pasta Salad is how versatile you can make it. Do not like spinach, omit, substitute...no problem. Want to use beef or tofu...no problem. It is easy to make it your own. I know your family will love it too.

RSC#11 - SALAD WITH A LIME DRESSING
A flavour packed salad with a refreshing zesty sweet lime dressing. Roasted sweet potatoes, baby spinach leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and crispy apple. Can be served as a light lunch with some crusty bread, as a side salad or as a meal with grilled or pan-fried chicken or seafood. Slice the apples and add the dressing close to serving time.UPDATE: I've left this recipe as it was entered to RSC#11. Feel free to vary the quantities of ingredients. AS we do not have key limes available in Australia-I used regular limes- perhaps key limes are tarter. I had fun making this recipe and being part of RSC.
