Arrange lettuce on salad plates; place a pear in center of each plate, spoon pan drippings over top of each pear. Drizzle desired amount of Marzetti Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing over each salad.

I thought this salad was just okay. The pears were not as flavorful as I had hoped.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a favorite. The roasted pears are so delicious and the goat cheese adds a nice touch of creaminess.
