Steps:
- Using a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add in the 1 tablespoon butter and once it begins to melt add in the 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon water, and 1 cups walnuts.
- Stir continuously for about 5 minutes and transfer the candied walnuts to a parchment lined baking sheet in a single even layer and allow them to cool and harden, about 15 minutes.
- In a blender or food processor, add in the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 clove of garlic, 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and blend or pulse until the salad dressing is completely smooth.
- Clean and dry the 5 ounce package of mixed salad greens. Place into a large bowl to assemble the salad. Clean and slice the 2 pears and add on top of the salad greens. Add in the 1 cup of candied walnuts and 1/3 cup dried cranberries.
- Drizzle on as much of the salad dressing as you would like and toss the salad until everything comes together. Top with the 1/3 cup blue cheese and serve immediately.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

PEAR & WALNUT SALAD W/CREAMY BLEU (BLUE) CHEESE DRESSING
This salad is a little different from most pear and walnut salads as it has a creamy bleu cheese dressing, not a vinaigrette. The creaminess of the dressing, the sweetness of the pears, the crunch from the glazed walnuts and a little zip from the dried cranberries make this a very unique and tasty salad. I started making it this way a few years ago, and everyone loved it, so it is a staple in our house now. The combination of the flavors is awesome. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

PEAR-WALNUT SALAD WITH ARTISAN BLEU CHEESE
I used mixed greens, pears, honey and bleu cheese-all from Oregon sources in this salad. For alternate versions, try two different varieties of pears. For example, I tested Forelle and Anjou pears. Rogue Creamery artisan cheesemaker supplied the bleu cheese (in particular their Smokey Blue), too. A light dressing tops it off. From a local source. Makes 6 small dinner salads. A perfect salad for a brunch or light meal. Happy 2009!

PEAR & BLUE CHEESE WALNUT SALAD W/ PEAR VINAIGRETTE
This is a recipe I clipped from a cooking magazine over 20 years ago. I suppose the salad is similar to others posted but the dressing is slightly different. Pear nectar can be found amongst the canned juices at your grocer. Buy a good crumbled blue cheese and feel free to cheat and buy pre-sweetened nuts. Enjoy this refreshing salad. Cook time is sugar coating the nuts.
