HARVEST PEAR & GORGONZOLA SALAD
This irresistible salad features juicy pears, salty gorgonzola (or blue cheese), crunchy fennel, peppery arugula, sweet dried cherries and nutty walnuts. A quick apple cider vinaigrette ties everything together. It's always a crowd pleaser, and it pairs perfectly with just about any main course, from holiday roasts, to baked chicken, to weeknight pastas. If you're not a blue cheese fan, goat cheese and feta are also delicious (although this salad has converted blue cheese skeptics!). Don't miss my step-by-step video above!

Steps:
- In a small bowl or jar, combine the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard and honey. Season with salt and pepper, and whisk or shake until the honey is dissolved. Add the olive oil and whisk or shake to combine. Season with more salt and pepper to taste. Do Ahead: The vinaigrette can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
- In a large bowl, combine the radicchio, fennel, greens, pear and walnuts. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in just enough dressing to coat (you might not need it all), and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle the dried cherries and gorgonzola cheese over top. Give the salad one more gentle toss, then serve!
PEAR, GORGONZOLA & WALNUT SALAD
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.
