Here is a salad that looks and tastes like a gourmet salad you might order at a fancy restaurant.

A nice juicy pear is delicious in this salad, and a good Gorgonzola cheese or bleu cheese really gives the entire salad a kick of sophistication. You can pick up a small tub of Gorgonzola cheese from Trader Joe’s, Safeway, Lucky, Whole Foods, or any grocery store.
Spring Greens Salad with Pears, Gorgonzola, and Walnuts:
Ingredients:
- 1 bag Spring mix
- 1 pear cut into thin slices
- 10 pieces of toasted walnuts (you can toast it on the stove or on the oven)
- 4 tbsp Gorgonzola or blue cheese
- 4 tbsp white wine vinegar, peach vinegar, or any white vinegar will do
- 2 tsp honey
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
Make the Vinaigrette:
- In a small bowl whisk together honey, vinegar, salt and pepper until thickened
- Add the olive oil, and whisk until well blended
- Taste and adjust with more honey for sweetness, or more vinegar for sourness
- You can save the extra dressing in the fridge to use later








Assemble the Salad:
- In a large salad bowl place the pear slices at the bottom
- Top with spring green mix
- Sprinkle Gorgonzola cheese & walnuts
- Add half of the vinaigrette and toss salad. You can add more or less dressing depending on your taste.
- Add a little more crushed black pepper
- Serve immediately. The salad will wilt from the dressing so it is best to add the dressing right before serving.







Who needs to go to restaurants when you can get this at home! I say this at home and Dolly says, she needs to! Of course she is right. But I’d rather eat at home every day…
Yummy!! Love all your posts…😘
