Tips:

- When selecting pears for this recipe, choose firm yet ripe ones. This will ensure that they hold their shape when cooked. - If you don't have blue cheese on hand, you can substitute another strong-flavored cheese, such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort. - To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon. - If you don't have a grill, you can cook the pears and bacon in a skillet over medium heat. - Be careful not to overcook the pears, as they should still have a bit of a bite to them. - Serve the salad immediately, while the pears are still warm. ###
