What You'll Need

3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion or shallots
1 cup Swanson® Chicken Broth (Regular, Natural Goodness® or Certified Organic)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon coarse-grain Dijon-style mustard
2 bags (5 to 8 ounces each) mixed salad greens
2 ripe pears or apples, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries
1/4 cup pecans, toasted
Crumbled blue cheese (optional)

How to Make It

  • 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes or until it's tender.

  • 2

    Stir the broth, vinegar, brown sugar and mustard in the saucepan and heat to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes or until the mixture is slightly reduced. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Beat the remaining oil into the broth mixture with a fork or whisk.
