Pear & Gorgonzola Salad

This is my new favorite salad.

I happened upon it when I was bouncing around blogs looking for ideas for a primary lesson I was working on. Yummy!

It is SUPER delicious. I made it for dinner this week - then had it for lunch the next 2 days - then went to Trader Joes to get more salad greens & pears (there was still dressing left & I didn't want it to go to waste.) Seriously, I could eat this for dinner every night.


Here's the recipe.

fresh spring mix salad greens
fresh pears, thinly sliced
toasted pecans
crumbled gorgonzola cheese

Creamy Honey Dijon Dressing

1/2 cup good dijon mustard
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper
2 TBSP sugar
1-1 1/2 cups oil

Mix all ingredients except oil in the blender or food processor. blend until combined. slowly add oil in a slow steady stream until emulsified. serve on the side of the salad.
 
I found it here.
