Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 3 minutes or until the shallots are tender.
Stir the broth, vinegar, brown sugar and mustard into the shallots. Heat the mixture 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 dressing mixture with a whisk. Let the dressing cool slightly.
Toss the salad greens with 1/2 cup of the dressing in a large bowl. Arrange the dressed greens on a serving platter. Top with the pears, cherries, pecans and blue cheese, if desired. Serve the salad with the remaining dressing.
