Hey ya'll, I'm back and recovering from a whirlwind of a three day trip. Heather and I have been friends since we were wearing training bras, and I was so excited to hear that she is moving to PA, just a few hours north of me. So we spent the last three days searching for a place for her to live. It wasn't quite as fun as vacationing, but nothing is better then catching up with an old friend, especially when that friend is practically a sister to you! And a huge shout out to my two kids, who were absolute angels on a trip that required them to be patient and spend a lot of time in the car. I'm a lucky mommy.
Have you ever discovered a new dish, and so you end up eating it over and over until you're practically sick of it, but not really because it's so good? I can already tell that this is how I'm going to be with this salad. A friend of mine brought it over for lunch the other day, and I immediately fell in love with it. I crave it, and make it all the time now. Luckily it only requires a few ingredients and takes no time at all to put together. It's exploding with flavor, especially the pungent Gorgonzola with sweet pears, I love it!
Pear and Gorgonzola Salad
Ingredients
Any lettuce mix (I really like the Spring mix, or just romaine and arugula)
1 pear sliced
1/4 cup Gorgonzola cheese
Favorite Honey-Dijon dressing
1/8 cup chopped caramelized pecans or walnuts
Directions
Coat lettuce with dressing, plate. Top with pears, Gorgonzola cheese and caramelized nuts. Enjoy!
To made caramelized nuts, plate nuts and a few teaspoons granulated sugar in a dry saute pan. Turn heat to high-medium and stir constantly until sugar melts and coats the nuts. Remove from heat immediately and transfer nuts to a plate to cool. Freeze leftovers.
