Baby Greens With Pears Walnuts And Gorgonzola Recipes

PEAR, GORGONZOLA & WALNUT SALAD

Pear, Gorgonzola & Walnut Salad image

The light and refreshing vinaigrette in this side salad offsets the tangy funk of Gorgonzola and sweetness from the raisins and pears. Even better, this salad celebrates fall and has beautiful colors. Feel free to get creative with this salad: Add chicken to make it meal-worthy, choose a different nut or swap Bosc pears for your favorite variety. Be sure to wait to dress this salad until ready to serve or the greens will wilt.

Categories Pears

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 cup vinaigrette, good quality
2 bosc pears
1/4 cup walnut pieces
1/4 cup gorgonzola (or good quality bleu)
1 tablespoon honey
4 cups baby arugula, escarole or 4 cups endive

Steps:

Clean and oil your grill grate. Turn on and heat to medium high heat.
Cut pears in half and scoop out the cores. Slice a piece off the skin side so it will lay flat without rolling. Brush with a light oil (see Recipe #369334). Place pears cut-side down on the grill. Cover and cook until heated through and nice grill marks appear, about 10 minutes.
In the meantime, toast walnuts in small pan over medium heat on stovetop until toasted, about 5 minutes. Pour walnuts in small bowl and while still warm add gargonzola and mix so cheese melts. Add honey. Stir lightly to incorporate.
Toss arugula or other greens very lightly with vinaigrette. Divide onto four plates.
When pears are nicely grilled on cut side turn over and divide gorgonzola mixture among pears. Grill for a couple minutes more. Remove pears and place ½ pear on each of the four plates. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Serve warm.
