I made this salad for a picnic and it was perfect. It was easy to transport and held up well in the heat.

I made this salad for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it, even the people who don't usually like salads. I think the secret is in the candied pecans. They add a little bit of sweetness and crunch that really makes the salad pop.

I made this salad for my friends and they all raved about it. One of them even said it was the best salad they had ever eaten. I'm not sure if I agree, but it was definitely delicious.

The salad was good, but I think it could be improved by using a different type of cheese. I would recommend using a milder cheese, such as mozzarella or feta, instead of gorgonzola.

I found the salad to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding a bit more salt and pepper to taste.

The salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the candied pecans.

I love this salad! The pears add a nice sweetness, the gorgonzola adds a bit of tang, and the candied pecans add a crunchy texture. It's the perfect salad for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
