2 medium    Pears, halved and cored  
4 tsp    Olive oil, divided  
1 Tbl    Balsamic vinegar  
1 tsp    Water  
1/2 tsp    Maple syrup  
1/2 tsp    Dijon mustard  
1/4 tsp    Salt  
 
1/8 tsp    White pepper  
1 clove    Garlic, minced  
1   Shallot, minced  
1 package    Mixed baby salad greens (10 ounces)  
1 cup    watercress sprigs  
1/4 cup    Dried cranberries  
1   100-calorie bag of popcorn  
 
1 Preheat oven to 400°.
2 In a small bowl, toss the halved and cored pears with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place in a baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes. Turn pears over; bake 5-7 minutes longer or until golden and tender.
3 When cool enough to touch, peel pears. Thinly slice the pear halves lengthwise and set aside.
4 In a large salad bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the remaining 3 tsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar, water, maple syrup, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic and shallot. Add the salad greens, watercress, and cranberries. Toss to coat.
5 Arrange pear slices on top.
6 Pop popcorn and sprinkle on top of salad last so it does not get soggy.
