Directions
In a 250 grm saucepan, cook pears with shallot, ginger and water over medium heat until soft. Strain and set aside to cool. Once at room temperature, puree one of the pears and strain through a sieve.
Remove the seeds from the vanilla bean and mix them into the puree. Discard the pod. Add the sherry vinegar and mirin and process in a blender or food processor. Slowly add the oil to emulsify. Season with the salt and pepper. Dice the remaining pear for garnish.
To serve, toss the baby greens well with the pear mixture. Divide among 4 serving plates and garnish with the shredded carrot (if using) and the diced pear.
