Fresh greens, pear slices, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, crunchy walnts and a creamy citrus dressing make this healthy salad from Leanne Mocker a refreshing delight! "I first concocted it three years ago," she writes from Fall River, Massachusetts, "and it really was an instant sensation. My family loved it as much as I did."
