Steps:
- Preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange pear slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Broil until nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Pour port wine into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook until the wine is reduced by 1/2. Remove from the heat and cool. Pour the cooled wine into a blender or food processor, and add the shallots, garlic, mustard, and vinegar. Puree until smooth.
- Divide the salad greens evenly between four serving plates. Arrange some of the broiled pear slices over each pile of greens. Sprinkle with Gorgonzola cheese. Drizzle dressing over each plate, then sprinkle with walnuts. If you like, this can also be made in one large bowl instead of individual servings.

[email protected]This salad is not worth the effort. It's just a bunch of chopped up fruit and nuts. I wouldn't recommend it.

[email protected]I made this salad for lunch today and it was delicious! The pears were perfectly ripe and the walnuts added a nice crunch. I used a store-bought honey-balsamic dressing, but I think I'll try making my own next time.
