PEAR, GORGONZOLA & WALNUT SALAD
The light and refreshing vinaigrette in this side salad offsets the tangy funk of Gorgonzola and sweetness from the raisins and pears. Even better, this salad celebrates fall and has beautiful colors. Feel free to get creative with this salad: Add chicken to make it meal-worthy, choose a different nut or swap Bosc pears for your favorite variety. Be sure to wait to dress this salad until ready to serve or the greens will wilt.

BABY GREENS WITH A WARM GORGONZOLA DRESSING
This was the result of an attempt to imitate a salad dressing at a restaurant. I did modify it to include bacon and I serve it warm. The dressing is also fantastic over gnocchi or tortellini.

Steps:

Tips:
- Choose baby greens that are tender and fresh. Avoid any leaves that are wilted or bruised.
- Use ripe pears for the salad. They should be sweet and slightly firm.
- Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
- Use a good quality gorgonzola cheese for the salad. It should be creamy and flavorful.
- Make the dressing ahead of time and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before using. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. The greens will wilt if they sit for too long.
