What You'll Need
Salt
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the dark green tops from the leeks, and slice the white and pale green parts into ½ inch rounds. Rinse well to remove any dirt. Slice the chives into 1 inch pieces. Crumble the goat cheese.
Step 2
When the water is boiling, add the leeks and cook until they are very tender, 12-15 minutes. Drain the leeks and rinse them with cold water until they are cool enough to handle but still slightly warm. Transfer the leeks to a serving platter and drizzle with ½ cup of the vinaigrette, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Toss to combine. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the leeks marinate, core and thinly slice the pears. When ready to serve, arrange the sliced pears on top of the marinated leeks. Scatter with the crumbled goat cheese. Finish with the chives and about half of the hazelnuts and serve.
