Caramelized Pear And Toasted Almond Salad

This is one of my favorites. my aunt served roasted pear and walnut salad at her wedding, and this is my version of it. it looks and sounds fancy, even though it's pretty simple, so i whip it out at parties every once in a while. i also like to sprinkle mozzarella over the top.

Steps

Toast the almonds in a small saucepan and place in a bowl.
Mix the water and sugar in the same saucepan and bring to a near-boil.
Adjust water , sugar , and temperature as needed.
Place the pears in the mixture until cooked thoroughly and place in another bowl.
Mix the vinegar , salt , dijon mustard , oil , and pepper in another bowl with a fork or in a blender.
Wash and spin the baby spinach.
Toss the pears , dressing , almonds , and spinach and serve.
